Mass extinction events are primarily caused by catastrophic events such as asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions, and significant climate changes that drastically alter habitats and ecosystems. Human activities, including habitat destruction, pollution, overfishing, and climate change, are also leading to a current biodiversity crisis. These factors can disrupt food chains and lead to the rapid decline of species unable to adapt to the changing conditions. Ultimately, the interplay of these direct causes can result in the widespread loss of species across the globe.
the holocene extinction
For all mass extinctions (except the Cretaceous/Paleogene extinction) two probable causes are volcanic eruptions and ocean anoxia.
Catastrophic extinction event.
Mesozoic
An asteroid impact
The effect of mass extinction is extinction, death of a mass
When human contributes into global warming some animals like polar bears and those who cannot bear heat may cause mass extinction
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.
the holocene extinction
The dinosaurs fell victim to a mass extinction.
This would be called a mass extinction or mass die off.This would be called a mass extinction.
540 million years ago was the first mass extinction
We are still not sure what caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, though an asteroid impact seems to be the popular theory.Scientists believe we may be heading towards another mass extinction event.

For all mass extinctions (except the Cretaceous/Paleogene extinction) two probable causes are volcanic eruptions and ocean anoxia.
Catastrophic extinction event.
Mass depletion is an event in which extinction rates are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as a mass extinction.
