into laurasia eurasia and north america to the north and gondwana to the south divided by the wide tethys ocean during the late jurassic narrow ocean basins formed separating eastern gondwana antarctica australia india and madagascar western gondwana africa arabia and south america and laurasia the young north atlantic ocean continues to widen as north america drifts to the north brought increased moisture to the formerly highly arid subtropical interior of pangaea the wrangellia terrane is accreted to western north america 5 climate edit deep ocean basins covered the poles inhibiting the formation of polar ice caps polar summers were ice free the circulation of ocean currents between the high and low latitudes contributed to a generally warmer climate than today 6 europe became progressively more arid over the late jurassic 7 life forms edit this epoch is well known for many famous types of dinosaurs such as the sauropods the theropods the thyreophorans and the ornithopods
