Could mass extiction have been caused by an asteroid?
It has been speculated that the mass extinction of dinosaurs was caused by an asteriod, however there is not enough evidence collected to support this. It is still argued possible though.
What were the major geological events in the permian time period?
The major geological events in the Permian period include the assembly of the supercontinent Pangaea, widespread glaciation in the southern hemisphere, and the formation of the Siberian Traps volcanic province, which led to significant climate change and a mass extinction event known as the Permian-Triassic extinction.
What could have caused the formation of a fossil?
Fossils are bones and remenants of organisms that lived a long time ago. I guess the bones of what were once organisms and bacteria that helped it to decay helps to form a fossil....
Scientists have found a huge underwater crater in Mexico that they believe could be linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs What event 65 million years ago most likely caused this crater?
The event that was marked by an asteroid hitting the Earth 65.5 million years ago near modern day Chixulub in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico is known as the K-T or Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction Event.
Was it a meteor or an asteroid that killed the dinosaur's?
scientists don't know, it could have been loss of food, they probably ate dead ones until nothing was there, or a disease got in plants an poisoned the plant eaters and a carnivore came by and ate it, it died, and it continued.
What was the mass extinction that was most likely caused by the formation and retreat of glaciers?
"It was the Cretaceous-Tertiary or the K-T Extinction." - WrongThe K-T Extinction was the mass extinction that wiped out the dinosaurs, which was more widely believed to be caused by a heavenly body colliding with the Earth.The mass extinction that involved a large period of glaciation was in truth the Ordovician-Silurian Extinction, which was the earliest mass extinction.The extinction is associated with a period of glaciation. First, sea levels dropped as glaciers formed. Later, as the glaciers melted, the sea level rose. The cause of this glaciation remains a mystery. One suggestion is land plants caused it by absorbing large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The drop in carbon dioxide could then have caused global cooling.
What might have caused the mass extinction at the end of the paleozoic era?
The mass extinction, known as the Permian extinction, affected both plants and animals on land and in the seas. Scientists do not know what catastrophic events caused the mass extinction, many kinds of organisms suddenly became extinct, as much as 90% of Marine species may have died out.

Which would have most likely have caused the giant ice caps that existed in the paleozoic era to melt?
A significant increase in greenhouse gases, such as CO2, and a rise in global temperatures would have most likely caused the giant ice caps of the Paleozoic era to melt. This could have been triggered by volcanic activity releasing large amounts of CO2 or natural climate cycles.
What do most scientist think caused the mass extinction of dinosaurs and other organisms at the end of the Cretaceous Period?
A meteor hit the earth and caused severe condition that organisms could not survive.
What are some theories on woolly mammoth extinction?
Scientists are not sure what caused the extinction of the woolly mammoths, but they have a few theories. These include climate change at the end of the Ice Age, human induced diseases, and human overhunting. It could also be any combination of the above.
What is factors may have caused the extinction of woolly mammoth?
As the world got warmer the woolly mammoth habitat decreased their source of food and as the human population grew the more hunters their was around to hunt the mammoths so that could drove the last of the mammoths to extinction
What two may have caused the extinction of woolly mammoths?
As the world got warmer the woolly mammoth habitat decreased their source of food and as the human population grew the more hunters their was around to hunt the mammoths so that could drove the last of the mammoths to extinction
What are 2 things that could cause the extinction of the cheetah?
cheetah's aren't extinct...... but like poachers and stuff could eventually lead to their extinction.
How can animal extinction?
I could answer it if it made sense
What could contribute to the extinction of a species?
MAN!
How do you say 'extinction' in Japanese?
死滅 (shimetsu) or 絶滅 (zetsumetsu) could both be used for "extinction".
