Description: Palaeogeographic map of the Permo-Triassic, showing the single supercontinent Pangaea, modelled climate belts, and the distributions of terrestrial tetrapods. Tetrapods were distributed worldwide before and after the PTME crisis, but moved 10–15° polewards as a result of tropical overheating. The shift north is documented, but the fossil record is not good enough to document the Southern Hemisphere action.
