the group found increased levels of
sulphur and depleted oxygen in the ancient rock. Ward and his
team of researches from the United
States and South Africa thought that the sulphur came from
continued volcanic eruptions in an area
known as the Siberian Trap. The eruptions warmed the Earth,
trapped sunlight, and depleted oxygen in
the air.
At the same time, the earth’s shitting tectonic plates lowered
the levels of the ocean, exposing
seabeds and releasing methane trapped in the sediment there,
further increasing the global warming.
The temperature kept rising so that it got hotter until it reached a
critical point causing everything to die.
Temperatures around the world rose 8 degress, killing of plants
which served as food animals, there by
straving them. In addition, oxygen levels dropped to about 16
percent the atmosphere.
Therefore, it is believed that widespread volcanic eruptions
that led to global warning was likely the
cause of massive exinction 250 million years ago, not the impact
of an asteroid of comet.
