Adaptive Radiation
Sudden changes in environmental conditions.
The outcomes of each of the mass extinctions is that animal and/or bacteria die.
When there are mass extinctions they are usually followed by adaptive radiation and very rapid diversification. The last mass extinctions happened 65 million years ago.
No, they are fundamental to the process of evolution. Mass extinctions are less common.
Mass extinctions occur when the conditions on Earth change faster than species can adapt. Since humans have greatly changed the conditions on Earth and continue to change them at rapid rates, a mass extinction is a likely possibility if nothing is done to reverse or stop the changes (mainly the amount of carbon dioxide being released to the atmosphere). Another common cause of mass extinctions are extraterrestrial which cannot be predicted and are somewhat spontaneous.

Mass extinctions occur when extreme temperatures happen.https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/evolution/extinction3.htm
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
