How did the Cambrian period end?
The Cambrian period ended around 485 million years ago with an event known as the Cambrian-Ordovician extinction. This extinction event is believed to have been caused by changes in the Earth's climate and sea levels, as well as volcanic activity. It resulted in the loss of many marine species, paving the way for the rise of new organisms during the subsequent Ordovician period.
