Did the cretaceous or permian extinction cause dinosaurs to become extinct?
No, as there was no Cretaceous-Permian extinction. There was the Permian-Triassic extinction, which ocurred before the dinosaurs appeared. Non-avian dinosaurs were wiped out in the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction.
What is extinction plants and animal?
extinction is when there is no more when it is or has been wiped away. it can happen wiht both plants and animals.
What did they called that wipe out the dinosaurs?
The extinction event that wiped out dinosaurs is called the Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction Event (K-T Extinction, for short... Yes, that is supposed to be a K). The crater left by the asteroid impact is called the Chixculub crater.
Why did the microraptor become extinct?
The microraptor existed during the early Cretaceous period. It became extinct following the KT extinction event, which wiped out the majority of life on earth.
What living things happen in the Cretaceous period Did turtles and crocodiles become extinct .?
No, turtles,crocodiles, snakes and some plants survived the extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.
What made the cretaceous period end?
The Cretaceous period ended as the result of a mass extinction event, probably resulting from an asteroid impact. This wiped out 65 percent of life on earth, including the ammonites, the plesiosaurs, the pterosaurs, and, most famously, the dinosaurs.
What are examples of mass extinctions?
The K-T (Cretaceous and Tertiary) boundary event thought to have been caused by the impact of a large meteorite forming the Chicxulub crater as well as very large scale volcanic activity (in this case the large igneous province known as the Deccan Traps) is a very good example and is thought to have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.
When triceratops was on earth what was the period time?
Triceratops existed between 68 and 65.5 million years ago. That was at the very end of the Cretaceous time period. The Cretaceous period was the last period of the Mesozoic, or Age of Dinosaurs. This means that Triceratops were one of the very last dinosaurs to exist, and were wiped out by the K-T extinction event that wiped out all of the world's dinosaurs.
How did the cretaceous era end?
The Cretaceous era ended with a mass extinction that wiped out all non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, mosasaurs, plesiosaurs, ammonites, and many other species. It was probably caused by a combination of climate change from excess volcanism in India and a huge asteroid impact.
What are the Major Causes of Extinction?
I would say the Meteor that wiped out the prehistoric animal the dinosaur and hunting, a lot of animals are dying out purely because of hunters. Animals such as tigers have become that few that they will gain a bounty, hunters will be given large amounts of money to bring in these animals.
What episode wiped out many insects in the world?
The Cretaceous-Palogene event was a mass extinction that occurred more than 65 million years ago. Approximately 75 percent of all species on earth vanished.
When was the last mass extinction?
The Cretaceous–Tertiary extinction event 65 million years ago was the last mass-extinction, and many believe that humans are causing a mass-extinction right now.
