OK Maybe I’m too much of a scientist or something but like… where did the stereotype that volcanoes are a prehistoric thing come from? Different time periods have different levels of volcanism, but like, the Mesozoic wasn’t particularly high or anything, frankly, a lot of volcanic activity that still affects us today was in the Eocene, 10 million years after the Mesozoic ended… where did this “Dinosaurs fight in front of volcanoes” Trope even come from like what there are still volcanoes today y'all know that right
