Problems with writer's explanations for mass extinction at the end of the Triassic period.
Recently, there has been a ton of debates as to mass extinction. Most specifically, with regard to the passage, the writer puts forth the idea that there are several possible explanations for mass extinction at the end of the Triassic period. In the listening, the lecturer is quick to point out there are serious flaws in the writer's claim. In fact, the professor believes non of the reasons are a good explanation about mass extinction and addresses, in detail, the trouble with each point made in the reading test.
First and foremost, the author in the article states decline of sea levels falls the habitats for the ocean population and causes extinction. Some professionals, in the same field, however, stand in opposition to this claim. In the listening, for example, the lecturer believes the decline of sea-level falls happened gradually and animals must adapt to this cause. He goes on to say that also this declination happened several million years ago before the mass extinction.
One group of scholars represented by the writer think that volcanic activity released large amounts of so2 to cause a lowering in global temperatures and extinction. Of course, though, not all the experts in this field believe this claim is accurate. Again, in the listening, the speaker addresses this point when he states this event happened in a short period and in that time there was not a lot of so2 in the atmosphere.
Finally, the writer wraps his argument by positing that asteroid strike. In the lecture, the speaker takes issue by contending that there is no evidence of a huge crater on Earth.
To sum up, both the writer and speaker hold conflicting views about mass extinction at the end of the Triassic period.
