The cause of this third one, though, is still unclear. [k] @Da Vinci Some people believe it happened because of simultaneous volcanic eruptions; others say meteor impacts; still others blame temperature increases from the sudden release of methane from the ocean bottoms. [k] @Da Vinci If that mass extinction hadn't happened, life on this planet would probably have evolved very differently from what it is now. [k] @Da Vinci After that event, the Mesozoic era, when the dinosaurs reigned supreme, lasted for one hundred and eighty million years...
