Question

multiple choice question the permian period ended with a mass extinction event in which o the largest meteor ever to hit earth landed in an area where most dinosaurs were living, causing the largest known dinosaur extinction event. o more than 90% of marine species in shallow - water areas died, on land many insects, amphibians, and reptiles also died. o a severe climate change occurred, causing much of the earth to be covered in ice, with the largest extinction of land plants and animals.

Explanation:

The Permian - Triassic extinction event, also known as the Great Dying, was characterized by the extinction of more than 90% of marine species in shallow - water areas and many land species including insects, amphibians, and reptiles. It was not due to a meteor that caused the extinction of dinosaurs (which was the Cretaceous - Paleogene extinction event), nor was it mainly due to a severe climate change that covered Earth in ice.

Answer:

B. more than 90% of marine species in shallow water areas died, on land many insects, amphibians, and reptiles also died.
