What was the mass extinction that was most likely caused by the formation and retreat of glaciers?
"It was the Cretaceous-Tertiary or the K-T Extinction." - WrongThe K-T Extinction was the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs, which was more widely believed to be caused by a heavenly body colliding with the Earth.The mass extinction that involved a large period of glaciation was in truth the Ordovician-Silurian Extinction, which was the earliest mass extinction.The extinction is associated with a period of glaciation. First, sea levels dropped as glaciers formed. Later, as the glaciers melted, the sea level rose. The cause of this glaciation remains a mystery. One suggestion is land plants caused it by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The drop in carbon dioxide could then have caused global cooling.
What might have caused the mass extinction at the end of the paleozoic era?
