There was a minor extinction event at the end of the Jurassic period. It was probably caused by global climate change. Dinosaurs like Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Camarasaurus, and Stegosaurus couldn't adapt to the change in temperature, so they all died out. The Cretaceous period then came after the Jurassic period had ended.
What else can I help you with?
Is the Jurassic period a geologic time that followed the mass extinction of dinosaurs?
No. The Jurassic was in the middle of the dinosaurs' reign on Earth. The time period after the extinction of the dinosaurs is referred to as the Paleogene or the Tertiary.
What unit of geologic time followed the mass extinction of dinosaurs?
Jurassic period
What came after the Jurassic period?
The Jurassic period was followed by the Cretaceous period in the Mesozoic era. The Cretaceous period lasted from around 145 to 66 million years ago and ended with a mass extinction event that led to the disappearance of dinosaurs.
What are the extinction of animals in the very distant past?
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.
What were the major geologic events in Jurassic time period?
The existence and extinction of the dinosaurs.
How did the Jurassic period ended?
the Jurassic period ended with another big extinction .There was a minor mass extinction toward the end of the Jurassic period (roughly 190-183 million years ago) in which more than 80% of marine bivalve species and many other shallow-water species died out. The cause of this extinction is unknown, but there is some speculation that it was triggered by the release of huge methane deposits from within the Earth (these deposits formed beneath the seabed as surface algae dies and sinks to the sea floor).
What ended the Jurassic time period?
The end of the Jurassic period was marked by a mass extinction event that wiped out a significant portion of species, including some dinosaurs. This event was likely caused by a combination of volcanic activity, climate change, and possibly an asteroid impact.
Where there any meteors during the Jurassic era?
Yes, there is evidence that suggests meteors did hit the Earth during the Jurassic era. Some scientists believe that a meteor impact may have contributed to the mass extinction event that marked the end of the Jurassic period.
What was the major event of the Jurassic Period?
i heard that it was the exsistance and extinction of the dinosours and the continuing breakup of Pangaea
How was the cretaceous period different from the Jurassic period?
The Cretaceous period followed the Jurassic period and lasted from about 145 million to 66 million years ago. In the Cretaceous period, flowering plants became more dominant, dinosaurs continued to diversify, and large marine reptiles like mosasaurs thrived. However, the end of the Cretaceous period marked by a mass extinction event where dinosaurs and many other species went extinct.
What ended the Jurassic period?
The end of the Silurian period and the beginning of the Devonian period was not defined by an extinction event, but by the distinctive rock formations of the period. As a result the end of the Silurian period is uncertain by +/- 2.8 million years.
Relationship between extinct and mass extinction?
Mass extinction is when many animals go extinct within a short period of time caused by the same variables/factors leading to the mass extinction.
