What is cause background extinction?
It is the fate of most living things eventually to go extinct. standard commonplace rate of extinction not associated with a mass extinction.
What is the disappearance of a species from all part of an environment?
Is extinction the word you're looking for ?
When the last member of a species dies is said to have occurred.?
the answer to the question is extinction
Why did many planets die at the end of the mesozoic?
Scientists believe the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, or the plants dying at the end of the Mesozoic Era, was caused by a massive asteroid/comet impact. The theory suggests that the impact had catastrophic effects on the environment, including an impact winter, which prevented the plants from carrying out photosynthesis.
What do most scientists think caused the mass extinction?
Most scientists believe that the Cretaceous extinction event was caused by a 6 mile wide asteroid that impacted Earth at what is now the Yucatan Peninsula 65.5 million years ago. The impact would have thrown tremendous amounts of dust high into the atmosphere, which would have blocked the sun for months. Without sunlight, the plants would have died, and without the plants, so would any herbivorous animals. The carnivores would have then died, too. Another theory popular with scientists is that climate change was the cause of the extinction. Before the asteroid impact, a huge volcanic trap (a large lava flow) called the Deccan Traps had been erupting for about three million years. The amount of carbon dioxide it released into the atmosphere caused tremendous global climate change, and dramatically decreased the variety of dinosaur species. It is also very plausible that it was a combination of these two factors.
With what scientists proposed the meteorite impact hypothesis to explain the extinction of the?
Dinosaur?
Does an asteroid contribute to extinction?
I believe it does. Scientists think that an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs.
Did the breakup of Pangaea have a effect on dinosaur extinction?
no, scientists have recently concluded that a asteroid killed them
Why are scientists. concerned about the depletion or thinning of the ozone layer?
Scientists are concerned about the ozone depletion. It is because this depletion can cause extinction of human race.
Why do scientists think there are s few redwood species alive today?
Scientists believe that changes in the Earth's climate cause extinction of trees;P
Which Arctic animal do many scientists consider the most vulnerable to extinction due to global warming?
narwhal
How do scientists tie biblical creation in with the extinction of the dinosaurs?
Most scientists do not believe in Biblical Creation, so there is no reason to tie it with the extinction of dinosaurs. However, Creationists often say that humans originally co-existed alongside dinosaurs until the Great Flood, when dinosaurs all drowned.
How did the ambulocetus become extinct?
Bambiraptor lived in the Late Cretaceous period and i believe died out in the mass K-T extinction. this extinction would be where scientists believe that a meteor hit the Yucatan Peninsula.
How do scientists find things out?
Scientists find things out by doing experiments.
What do scientists consider the number one cause of extinction?
They say decay and Meat eaters, or objects that eat other creatures is why.
How do scientists know that KT extinction took place?
When we see that there are fossils found in a certain geological layer, which are evidence that a certain species existed at that time, and then in the next geological stratum we no longer find those fossils, and there is no evidence that the species which used to exist still exists, we infer that the species became extinct. If a whole lot of species become extinct at approximately the same time, we call that an extinction event, such as the KT extinction.
Why are scientists concerned about specis loss if extinction is a natural process?
The extinction rate is much higher than it would be without humans, therefore most animals would have not gone extinct had it not been for human intervention.
