Volcanic debris changes the climate.
A large asteroid colliding with the Earth would trigger a great cooling that might lead to some extinctions.A large burning of fossil fuels (like we have been doing for 200 years) would trigger a great global warming that might lead to the extinction of all life on earth.
Mass extinction. A mass extinction typically occurs after a catastrophic global event. This event could be a bolide impact (such as the impact 65 million years ago that killed the dinosaurs, the most famous example of a mass extinction), increased volcanism, climate change, or something similar.
It ended from mass extinction.
One trigger of mass movements occurs when the pores in sediments become filled with water.

Gasses released by a massive volcanic event can cause catastrophic climate changes. Carbon dioxide will raise global temperatures. while sulfur dioxide will lower temperatures.
The effect of mass extinction is extinction, death of a mass

Mass extinction could occur due to climate change, an asteroid impact and even a volcanic eruption.
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
Super volcanoes. A super volcano could emit so much smoke and ashes into the atmosphere, that an ice age could occur because of the limited sun light. This cloud of ashes could cover vast areas of the earth and could take a long time to dissolve. A comet. A comet could cause similar effects as super volcanoes. A third possible cause of mass extinction is when the ice-age ended and there were massive floods. This also caused extreme climate change. The snowball effect. Where the earth freezes and kills almost all life on earth.
The mass extinction of dinosaurs were caused volcanoes that cause global warming with their toxic gases, therefore, killing the plants, starving the plant eating dinosaurs to death, and with no more plant eating dinosaurs, the meat eating dinosaurs died, too.
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.
