What else can I help you with?
The evidence that supports that in impact event caused the Triassic-Jurassic extinction is a layer of which is rare on Earth.?
The evidence supporting the impact event causing the Triassic-Jurassic extinction includes a layer of iridium-rich clay, which is rare on Earth and often associated with extraterrestrial impacts. This layer indicates a sudden and significant event that would have led to drastic environmental changes, contributing to the mass extinction. Additionally, the presence of shocked quartz and other impact-related materials further supports the hypothesis of an asteroid or comet impact during this period.
How do you know a mass extinction actually did occur?
No evidence of the extinct lifeforms appears in the stratigraphic record immediately following the extinction event.
What present day evidence suggests that the extinction of dinaurs was the result of a catastrophic event?

What survived the extinction event of the dinosaurs-?
Avian dinosaurs survived the extinction event of the dinosaurs.
Was there a catastrophic event because of Tasmanian tigers?
The thylacine or Tasmanian tiger was hunted to extinction; they were intentionally removed from existence by humans. There was no natural event that caused their end.
How do I use Permian Extinction in a sentence?
No, child, I was not a witness to the Permian Extinction. The Permian extinction event is the only known mass extinction of insects. The Permian extinction event occurred about 252 million years ago.
What evidence suggests that we could be experiencing a sixth mass extinction?
Evidence suggesting we could be experiencing a sixth mass extinction includes the high rate of species extinction, the loss of biodiversity, and the significant impact of human activities such as habitat destruction, pollution, and climate change on ecosystems worldwide. Trends in population decline and habitat loss further support the hypothesis of a sixth mass extinction event.
What is a synonym for mass extinction?
Catastrophic extinction event.
What is the extinction level event of Yellowstone caldera?
An eruption of the Yellowstone caldera occurs it will likely be an extinction level event.
What is a very sudden elimination of a species from a catastrophic event?
I think it's extinction. ------------------------------- More specifically an "extinction event".
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.
Which craters provides evidence of an impact great enough to wipe out the dinosaurs?
The Chicxulub crater, located on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, provides compelling evidence of an impact event linked to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago. This approximately 150-kilometer-wide crater is associated with the Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) boundary, where a significant decline in biodiversity, including the extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs, occurred. Geological and geochemical evidence, such as the presence of iridium, supports the idea that this impact triggered dramatic environmental changes.
