The Jurrasic period
The Jurassic period started when the mass extinction happened in the Triassic. Life on earth quickly recovered. The Jurassic period is mostly known for its diversity of life. This period contained some of the worlds first birds and dinosaurs ever to live. The continents broke up making the Atlantic Ocean. The Atlantic Ocean has the worlds oldest ocean floor. All of the other sea floors have been recycled through the process called Plate Tectonics.
Snowball Earth :
Flood basalt eruptions
Desert Earth :
Coal Forests :
Asteroid Impacts :
Extinction of the Mammoth :
Scientists think that they have found evidence of an asteroid that hit the Earth, which led to the extinction of large animals, including the woolly mammoth , this resulted in a large climate change.
This made the Earth start to heat up making it to much for the Mammoth to live in.
The humans contributed to the extinction because they hunted to Mammoths. The mixture of the climate quickly changing and humans hunting them they died out pretty quickly.
