FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda Our planet, due to a great cataclysm that occurred 250 million years ago, experienced mass extinction with only 10 percent of the plants and animals surviving.
According to a new article published in Nature Geoscience, the planet’s recovery from this massive destruction and its consequences had long delay estimated for about 10 million years.
There were two reasons behind the delay, the sheer intensity of the crisis and the continuance of grim conditions on Earth after the first wave of extinction, suggested Dr Zhong-Qiang Chen from the China University of Geosciences in Wuhan, and Professor Michael Benton from the University of Bristol.
Life on earth was severely threatened by the ancient crisis that induced a number of physical environmental shocks such as global warming, acid rain, ocean acidification and ocean anoxia.
The study indicated that the harsh conditions have continued for some five to six million years after the initial crisis and led to the killing of 90 percent of living things on land and in the sea.
“It is hard to imagine how so much of life could have been killed, but there is no doubt from some of the fantastic rock sections in China and elsewhere round the world that this was the biggest crisis ever faced by life,” Dr Chen said.
Researchers believe though some groups of animals on the sea and land did recover quickly and began to rebuild their ecosystems, they suffered further setbacks.
After the environmental crises, many complex ecosystems emerged, for instance ancestral crabs and lobsters came on the scene and formed the basis of future modern-style ecosystems.
