Nur zwei große Lebensräume unserer Erde sind scheinbar über lange Zeiträume hinweg gleich geblieben: der Dschungel und das Meer. Doch selbst die Landmassen, auf denen der Urwald liegt, haben sich aufgrund der Kontinentalverschiebungen verändert, und die Aufspal­tung und Verschmelzung der Kontinente hatten Auswirkungen auf die Ausdehnung der warmen, flachen Küstenmeere.
