What event marks the end of both the Paleozoic Era and Mesozoic Era?

The Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) Extinction Event is widely recognised as the greatest extinction event on Earth. It is also known as the "Great Dieing".
It occurred 251 million years ago marking the end of the Permian Period and the start of the Triassic Period.It also marks the end of the Paleozoic Era and the start of the Mesozoic Era. Estimates have suggested that 96% of marine species and 70% percent of land vertebrate species became extinct. It is also the only known mass extinction of insect with 56% of insect families and 83% of insect genera becoming extinct.
Little is known of the cause of the mass extinction but theories range from meteorite impacts, to volcanism, to sea level fluctuations.

Which eras on the geologic time scale is divided into both periods and epochs?
The Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic are all divided into periods and epochs.
When did the triassic period take place?
The Triassic was from about 225 million to 190 million years ago. It is the first period of the Mesozoic ("middle life") Era.The Triassic Period is most commonly believed to have begun 251 million years ago and lasted until 199.6 million years ago.
How is the angle of repose related to mass movement?
Movement of a material will occur if the angle of repose is increased by the addition of material, or if friction is decreased by oversaturation of the material, or in the event of a ground moving event.
What event is the best examples of competition between species in a pond environment?
I think the best example is a blue heron and a raccoon fighting over a frog that they both want to eat.
What was the environment like in the Paleozoic Era?
The Early Cambrian climate was probably moderate at first, becoming warmer over the course of the Cambrian, as the second-greatest sustained sea level rise in the Phanerozoic got underway. However, as if to offset this trend, Gondwana moved south with considerable speed, so that, in Ordovician time, most of West Gondwana (Africa and South America) lay directly over the South Pole. The Early Paleozoic climate was also strongly zonal, with the result that the "climate", in an abstract sense became warmer, but the living space of most organisms of the time -- the continental shelf marine environment -- became steadily colder. However, Baltica (Northern Europe and Russia) and Laurentia (eastern North America and Greenland) remained in the tropical zone, while China and Australia lay in waters which were at least temperate. The Early Paleozoic ended, rather abruptly, with the short, but apparently severe, Late Ordovician Ice Age. This cold spell caused the second-greatest mass extinction of Phanerozoic time. Over time, the warmer weather moved into the Paleozoic era.The Middle Paleozoic was a time of considerable stability. Sea levels had dropped coincident with the Ice Age, but slowly recovered over the course of the Silurian and Devonian. The slow merger of Baltica and Laurentia, and the northward movement of bits and pieces of Gondwana created numerous new regions of relatively warm, shallow sea floor. As plants took hold on the continental margins, oxygen levels increased and carbon dioxide dropped, although much less dramatically. The north-south temperature gradient also seems to have moderated, or metazoan life simply became hardier, or both. At any event, the far southern continental margins of Antarctica and West Gondwana became increasingly less barren. The Devonian ended with a series of turnover pulses which killed off much of Middle Paleozoic vertebrate life, without noticeably reducing species diversity overall.The Late Paleozoic was a time which has left us a good many unanswered questions. The Mississippian epoch began with a spike in atmospheric oxygen, while carbon dioxide plummeted to unheard-of lows. This destabilized the climate and led to one, and perhaps two, ice ages during the Carboniferous. These were far more severe than the brief Late Ordovician Ice; but, this time, the effects on world biota were inconsequential. By the Cisuralian, both oxygen and carbon dioxide had recovered to more normal levels. On the other hand, the assembly of Pangea created huge arid inland areas subject to temperature extremes. The Lopingian is associated with falling sea levels, increased carbon dioxide and general climatic deterioration, culminating in the devastation of the Permian extinction.I read somewhere that it was colder at first then got warmer over time
What happened at the end of both the mesozoic and palezoic eras?
There were major asteroid impacts. #fuckschool #imheretohelp
What event marked the both the beginning and end of the Mesozoic era?
A mass extinction

What event ended the paleozoic and mesozoic era?
Extinction did.
What are the differences between the paleozoic mesozoic and Cenozoic eras?
The Paleozoic, the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic are the 3 Eras of the Phanerozoic Eon.The Paleozoic Era occurred between 542 and 251 million years ago. It lasted 291 million years. It was made up of 6 geological periods. The Cambrian Period(542 - 488Ma), the Ordovician(488 - 443Ma), the Silurian(433 - 416Ma), the Devonian(416 - 359Ma), the Carboniferous(359 - 299Ma) and the Permian(299 - 251Ma).The Mesozoic Era occurred between 251 and 65.5 million years ago. It lasted 185.5 million years. It was made up of 3 geological periods. The Triassic Period (251 - 199.6Ma), the Jurassic(199.6 - 145.5Ma) and the Cretaceous(145.5Ma).The Cenozoic Era occurred between 65.5 million years ago to now. It has lasted 65.5 million years to date. It has been made up of 3 geological periods to date. The Paleogene(65.5 - 23.03Ma), the Neogene(23.03 - 2.588Ma) and the current period the Quaternary Period (2.588Ma - Now)
What times would be the longest a paleozonic b carboniferious period c Jurassic period d mesozoic era?
According to the newly released Geologic Time Scale (June 2012) these are the durations of the given options: a) Paleozoic: 258.8 million years b) Carboniferous: 60.0 million years c) Jurassic: 56.3 million years d) Mesozoic: 186.2 million years Its not surprising that the Carboniferous and Jurassic are the shorted as both are Periods one of the given Eras. So the Paleozoic is the longest of the four options.

Do sharks lve in salt water?
The vast majority of sharks live in salt water.A small number of shark species do live in both salt and freshwater, like the Bull Shark (Carcharhinus leucas), for instance.And there are also five rare species of shark in the genus Glyphisthat live only in rivers.But many sharks lived in freshwater during the Paleozoic and the Mesozoic eras.

How are experimental probability and theoretical probability alike?
They are both measures of how likely it is that a particular event will occur.They are both measures of how likely it is that a particular event will occur.They are both measures of how likely it is that a particular event will occur.They are both measures of how likely it is that a particular event will occur.
