The great flood period of all the continents, except Asia, happened 350,000,000 years ago, were completely cover with water; only the coastal highlands remained above these shallow but widespread inland seas. Three major inundations characterized this period, but before it ended, the continents again arose, the total land emergence being fifteen percent greater than now exists. The Caribbean region was highly elevated. This period is not well marked off in Europe because the land fluctuations were less, while the volcanic action was more persistent.
10,000,000 years later, another extensive landing sinking except in Asia and Australia. The waters of the world’s oceans were generally commingled. This was a great limestone age, much of its stone being laid down by lime-secreting algae.
And then again, a few million years later, large portions of the American continents and Europe began to emerge from the water. In the Western Hemisphere only an arm of the Pacific Ocean remained over Mexico and the present Rocky Mountain regions, but near the close of this epoch the Atlantic and Pacific coasts again began to sink.
Eventually, the Earth grew quiet with much land again above water which occurred 330,000,000 years ago before another third major flood period happened covering the entire world. Eventually, land masses appeared once again with Mexico making its appearance along emerged with the Gulf Sea. And then again, the world grew quiet, relatively peaceful; the climate remains mild and equable. The land plants began migrating farther and farther from the seashores.
