It is the fate of most living things eventually to go extinct. standard commonplace rate of extinction not associated with a mass extinction.
new predators new disease new climate or environment change new competitors for food or land these all contribute to extinction
Scientists believe the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event, or the plants dying at the end of the Mesozoic Era, was caused by a massive asteroid/comet impact. The theory suggests that the impact had catastrophic effects on the environment, including an impact winter, which prevented the plants from carrying out photosynthesis.
The Permian mass extinction occurred about 248 million years ago and was the greatest mass extinction ever recorded in earth history exterminating more than 95% of all life on EarthTwo theories have been proposed - the impact of a huge meteorite or comet over 10 kilometres in diameter, or a massive and prolonged volcanic eruption. The volcanic theory appears to be taking the lead at the present time.
