No evidence of the extinct lifeforms appears in the stratigraphic record immediately following the extinction event.
Several periods of mass extinction
65 million years ago
the holocene extinction
Mass extinction - More than 50% of the population went extinct in a short period of time.Background extinction - An average rate of extinction occurred during a given time period.
About 65.5 million years ago. The Cretaceous and Tertiary are geological time periods either side of this event. The event is significant because there was a large mass extinction event at this time including the extinction of all non avian dinosaurs. Most experts agree that the cause of the extinction was a asteroid impact.
Mass extinction could occur due to climate change, an asteroid impact and even a volcanic eruption.
Several periods of mass extinction
Extinction of a single species can occur at any time if said species in hunted excessively, but mass extinction only occurs every 27 to 33 million years.
65 million years ago
The effect of mass extinction is extinction, death of a mass
Most extinctions occur as background extinctions because they are longer time periods unlike the shorter mass extinctions which there were only two in the Paleozoic era, the Ordovician mass extinction, and the Permian/Triassic extinction in which 95% of all marine animals became extinct
In the Late Cretaceous (65 million years ago).
Several periods of mass extinction
If the ozone is destroyed, it will cause mass extinction. Mankind will perish.
65 million years ago
There were five major extinction events in the past. They are called the Cretaceous-Tertiary (or K-T) extinction event, the late Devonian mass extinction, the Permian mass extinction, the Ordovician-Silurian mass extinction and the Triassic-Jurassic mass extinction event.
