As the asteroid enters the atmosphere, most of the asteroid burns up, super heating the hunk o' rock, so that when it comes in contact with the surface, it drastically changes the climate of the surface, something not many animals can survive. Even if they survive, the smoke will kill most of the survivors anyway. But, most of the aquatic animals will survive.
When the asteroid hit Earth, it would have thrown enough dust into the upper atmosphere to block sunlight for months at a time. Without sunlight, the plants would die. Without plants, the herbivorous dinosaurs would die, and without them, the carnivores died out.
The impact causes an extremely large explosion which blasts vast quantities of dust into the atmosphere. This can act to block out or reduce the radiation reaching Earth from the sun.
This in turn effects the growth of plants which are in turn the food for other creatures and can lead to food shortages, starvation and extinction.
If the meteorite is large enough it would knock enough dust into the air to freeze the world. The dust could block out the sunlight.
A meteorite impact could lead to the cooling of the Earth's climate through the injection of large amounts of dust and debris into the atmosphere. This would block out sunlight and result in decreased solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface, causing a drop in temperature. Additionally, the impact could also release gases such as sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere, which could lead to the formation of sulfate aerosols that further reflect sunlight and contribute to the cooling effect.
Yes. If a certain area has a group of animals living in a compact space, that species could become extinct easily. Also, a tsunami could cover a large area, harming species and the food chain which could later lead to extinction.
Plate tech-tonics are spreading apart and around the globe. So the might collide with another Continent creating volcanoes and all the destruction would lead to extinction
immigration, emmigration, and extinction events.
Alterations of a habitat may lead to drastic changes in a ecosystem and may even lead to the extinction of a species.
cheetah's aren't extinct...... but like poachers and stuff could eventually lead to their extinction.

If people keep on hunting the ivory billed woodpecker, then they could die out very easily.
It causes some animals habitat to be destroyed which could lead to extinction
yes
There are many ways.
Extinction.
The evolution of mammals
It messes' up the whole food chain or web. It could lead to extinction, and that could hurt all organisms,

Thanks!0 CommentsDowny woodpeckers are the main predators of gall flies, their extinction could lead to a rise in gall flies
