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.
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.

What event marks the beginning of the current geologic era on Earth?
The mass extinction event at the end of the Cretaceous Period marks the beginning of the Cenozoic Era. There are multiple hypotheses as to what caused or contributed to this extinction; current thought is that the Chicxulub meteorite event, combined with the already occurring volcanic trap eruptions in present day India provided the one-two punch that lead to the extinction. Regardless, the iridium rich KT boundary at the end of the Cretaceous marks the end of the reign of the dinosaur and the emergence of a great diversity in other species.
What is Continental drainage?
The changing lithosphere affects the drainage patterns of the continents. The Continental Divide marks the division whereby the rivers drain west and east from the divide. Continental drainage systems were also created and are affected by the movement of ice.
How long ago did the 'paleozoic' era begin?
That would be 251 million years ago. The end of the Paleozoic era marks the beginning of the Mesozoic. The last period of the Paleozoic era was the Permian, and the first period of the Mesozoic era was the Triassic; hence the extinction event (the biggest extinction event in the earth's history), the Permian-Triassic extinction, which defines the border between the eras.
Which event marks the end of mesozoic era?
An asteroid impact

What contributed to the extinction that marks the end of the Mesozoic era?
meteorite collision
What division of 47 percent marks in matric?
It is second division. Second division starts from 45 % marks.
What event marks the start of Gregorian calendar?
The calendar is intended to mark the number of years since the death of King Herod the Great. The Roman abbot Dionysus Exiguus devised the new Christian calendar in 533. He knew that it was impossible to say when Jesus was born, but he knew, or thought he knew, when Herod died. So, he chose to begin his Christian calendar on the year of Herod's death, and he based this on the reign of the Roman emperor Augustus. Unaware that Augustus only adopted that name four years after his reign began, going by his birth name of Octavius until then, Exiguus commenced his calendar just 4 years too late.
What the beginning of the Paleozoic era marks?
The start of the Paleozoic Era was marked by a huge diversification of life known as the Cambrian Explosion. Many genre of life emerged during the Cambrian Period. Although plants and animals were around in the Pre-Cambrian it was not until after the extinction event that immediately proceeded the Paleozoic that many advanced forms of life evolved such as multi-celled plants and advanced animals such as the arthropods.
