El Niño, extinction
Scientists Think a Mega-El Niño Helped Spark the ‘Great Dying’
While El Niño climate patterns today are responsible for prolonged droughts and high temperatures, during the end-Permian (some 251 million years ago), they contributed to what was nearly the end of all life on Earth.
Earth's greatest mass extinction 250 million years ago shows what happens when El Niño gets out of control
Around 252 million years ago, the world suddenly heated up. Over a geologically brief period of tens of thousands of years, 90% of species were wiped out. Even insects, which are rarely touched by such events,
El Nino and Massive Volcanic Eruptions Triggered Mass Extinction of Life 250 Million Years Ago
The eruption of the Siberian Traps, a series of massive volcanic rifts, spewed vast amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. This phenomenon caused extreme climate heating, leading to a series of long-lasting and severe El Niño events.
When Mega El Niño Rewrote Earth’s Fate: The Untold Story of the Largest Mass Extinction
Researchers have linked the largest mass extinction event, which occurred 252 million years ago during the Permian-Triassic period, to Mega El Niño events causing extreme ocean warming. This new study reveals how volcanic eruptions increased CO2 levels,
New research reveals how El Niño caused the greatest ever mass extinction
Mega ocean warming El Niño events were key in driving the largest extinction of life on planet Earth some 252 million years ago, according to new research.
'Mega' El Niño may have fueled Earth's biggest mass extinction
Volcanoes spewing carbon dioxide 250 million years ago heated the climate so much that extreme El Niño events became the norm, pushing most life on Earth past its limits.
Mega El Niños may have played a part in the Permian mass extinction
Extreme weather events lasting more than a decade could have killed off forests 250 million years ago, contributing to Earth's worst ever mass extinction
‘Mega El Niños’ Were Behind the Planet’s Worst Mass Extinction
The largest mass extinction event in Earth's history was partially the fault of a series of "mega El Niños" set off by volcanic eruptions.
How El Nino and mega ocean warming caused the greatest-ever mass extinction
Mega ocean warming El Nino events were key in driving the largest extinction of life on planet Earth some 252 million years ago, according to new research. The study has shed new light on why the effects of rapid climate change in the Permian-Triassic warming were so devastating for all forms of life in the sea and on land.
Mega El Niños Could Have Inflamed Earth's Most Devastating Extinction
Life was put to the ultimate test a quarter-billion years ago as extinction events ravaged Earth's biosphere, leaving a mere handful of species to claw their way back to survival. This ' Great Dying ' appears to have been driven by a complex series of incidents,
