The lecturer disputes the author's suggested theory that a mass extinction was caused by a reduction in water and an increase in atmospheric heat.. She provides three concrete reasons to cast doubt about the author's claims.
First, according to the author a massive extinction took place in the Triassic period because of a reduction in the salty sea water level. The speaker however confidently find this ideas debatable. He rigorously contends that a gradual reduction in sea level may not cause this problem because animals are astonishingly capable of adapting to a change in water level.
Second, the lecturer contradict the fallacy of the passage that an elevation of earth surface temperature may also cause animal extinction. The lecturer however confidently argues that theoretically speaking the transient elevation of temperature has no effect on animal extinction. She contends that the elevated levels of the toxic sulfur dioxide which is released after volcano eruption is washed away quickly after precipitation.
Finally, the author claims that meteoroids collision may have caused the massive extinction because of sunlight block. Again, the lecturer refutes this claim by stating that scientists have not discovered any crater at the site of collision. Thus, it is not possible that a massive extinction may be attributed to this collision theory.
