It isn't. Most mass extinctions in the history of Earth resulted from radical environmental and climatological changes, sometimes brought on by volcanism, sometimes because of a natural fluctuation in Earth's ecologies, sometimes due to meteorite impact.

What process is responsible for changing liquid water into water vapor?

The process responsible for changing liquid water into water vapor is called evaporation. This occurs when the water is heated, either by the sun or another heat source, causing the water molecules to gain enough energy to escape into the air as vapor.


Why any body has gravity?

Gravity is caused by mass which is a property of physical matter. Even hydrogen, the lightest element in the Universe, has mass and is subject to gravity. An interesting question would be why the mass has gravity?


What makes a gravitational force?

The existence of two masses. Wherever they are in the universe, there is a force in both directions between them trying to pull them together. The strength of the force depends on the masses of both masses and on the distance between them.


What does gravitional force?

The gravitational force is a natural phenomenon by which objects with mass attract one another. It is responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun and objects on Earth grounded. The force of gravity follows Newton's law of universal gravitation, which states that every mass attracts every other mass with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.


What mass in the universe exerts a force of attraction on every other mass?

The mass that exerts a force of attraction on every other mass in the universe is known as gravity. This fundamental force is responsible for the attraction between all objects with mass and is what keeps celestial bodies like planets, stars, and galaxies in motion.

The outcomes of each of the mass extinctions is that animal and/or bacteria die.


When geologists refer to the Big Five what are they referring to?

When geologist refer to the Big Five they are referring to the five mass extinctions on Earth. Some of these extinctions are the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras.


Do scientists believe that extinctions are uncommon?

No, they are fundamental to the process of evolution. Mass extinctions are less common.


How many mass extinctions have occurred in the past 4 billion years on earth?

There have been five mass extinctions in the past 4 billion years on Earth. These events resulted in the widespread loss of species and fundamentally reshaped the evolution of life on our planet.


What has happened during mass extinctions?

Bad things


Why mass extinctions occur and why they often mark divisions of geologic times?

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


Why do you think most extinction's occur as background extinctions?

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


Mass extinctions create conditions that promote?

Adaptive Radiation


What has changed most of the mass extinctions on earth?

climate change


Mass extinctions are usually followed by what?

Mass extinctions are usually followed by a period of rapid diversification as surviving species adapt to new environmental conditions and fill ecological niches left vacant by extinct species. This diversification can lead to the emergence of new species and ecosystems over time.


What processes is responsible for changeing liquid water into water vapor?

The change of phase from liquid to gas is called vaporization (when the phenomenon is in all the mass) or evaporation (when the phenomenon is only at the surface).
