The Magic School Bus In the Time of the Dinosaurs software adaptation (The Magic School Bus Explores in the Age of Dinosaurs), unlike the book (The Magic School Bus In the Time of the Dinosaurs) and the TV episode (The Busasaurus) adapted from the book version, the Bus however transforms into three different prehistoric animals (one for each of the time periods) instead of a time machine. It transforms into three different prehistoric animals; a Coelophysis (for the Triassic Period), Stegosaurus (for the Jurassic Period), and Pteranodon (for the Cretaceous Period). This game has very elaborate CGI forms for the bus. Although the classroom location song has changed in the
South Polar region of the Cretaceous temperatures caused by the high amounts of carbon dioxide and possibly methane greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. This caused a lack of permanent ice coverage in the polar regions, though the carbon dioxide level dropped between 115 and 66 million years ago (mya), possibly allowing some permanent ice cover. It is possible that, throughout the Cretaceous, several small ice sheets developed. Increased tectonic activity, causing more geothermal heat, may have prevented glaciation and increased global temperatures. Temperatures may have been up to 15 °C (27 °F) warmer than they are in the modern age. The landscape of the Middle Jurassic
