What were the 5 major extinction events in earth history?
They are the end-Ordovician extinction, end-Devonian extinction, end-Permian extinction, the Triassic extinction, end-Cretaceous extinction.
What caused the Devonian mass extinction?
No one knows for sure. Some people believe that an asteroid earlier in time hit Earth and caused massive climate change that killed off reptiles, but spared dinosaurs. Others believe that it was simply climate change.
What are the extinction of animals in the very distant past?
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.
What is another name for the Devonian period?
I have never known it to be called anything but "The Devonian", but one might speculate it could be called "The First Flowering", as the Devonian was when there was the first massive increase in sea creatures, as well as the first heavy vegetation on the surface of earth. The Devonian ended with a mass extinction event that is still not understood. There is some discussion of the "Alamo Impact Event" being connected with it, but most scientists believe that was too small, and too far before the mass extinction (3.5 million years) to have been the cause.
What are facts about the devonian period?
The Devonian Period is a part of the Paleozoic Era, which covers the time from 541 to 252.17 million years ago. It began with the Cambrian explosion, in which most phyla of life began, and ended with the mass extinction called the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
