Approximately 362 million years ago, during the late Devonian period, Pennsylvania was located near the equator, around 0 to 10 degrees south latitude. This position was part of the supercontinent Laurussia, which influenced its climate and environment, making it a tropical region with lush vegetation and diverse marine life. The shifting of tectonic plates over millions of years has since moved Pennsylvania to its current latitude.
