tpo 39 the mass extinction during the end of the Triassic peroid
The material discusses the possible causes of the mass extinction that happened at the end of the Triassic period. While the reading suggests three explanations of this phenomenon, the listening challenges all these theories and states that they are not convincing.
First, the author mentions that this extinction happened due to the change of sea level that destroyed all species that lived on the coast. On the other hand, the professor opposes this and points out that there was a fluctuation that happened at the sea level, but usually, the species that habituated the coast and shallow water adapted any environmental changes that happened gradually. The lecturer brings up that the change that was in the sea level during the end of the Triassic period occurred gradually, so it could not cause this aggressive extinction.
Second, the writer states that the extreme cooling climate that happened due to volcanic activity devastated many species because it released a huge amount of sulfur dioxide that reduced the global temperature. On the contrary, the lecturer encounters this and posits that sulfur dioxide released from volcanic activity stayed in the atmosphere for a short period. According to the listening, sulfur dioxide was cleared out from the atmosphere by combining with water and fell as rains. The lecture says that sulfur dioxide did not stay long enough to cause a massive cooling climate that led to this extinction.
Third, the reading cites that an asteroid hit the Earth and threw a lot of debris in the atmosphere that blocked the sunlight and killed many animals and plants. Conversely, the professor contradicts this and contends that when an asteroid hits the Earth, it causes carter. The lecturer argues that they did not find any carter that dated back to the end of Triassic period. the professor explains that the only carter that had been found dated back twelve million years before the Triassic period, so it is too long before extinction to do anything with it.
