Many of the factors that led to the late Permian mass extinction also contributed to the late Cretaceous mass extinction, with the exception of a meteor strike.
<h3>Permian-Triassic extinction</h3>
The biggest mass extinction event in Earth's history occurred about 250 million years ago and wiped out 96% of marine life and 70% of land life. Known as "the great death", it was a period of extreme volcanism on the planet, in the region of Siberia.
<h3>Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction</h3>
Occurred only 66 million years ago, it decimated 75% of species. All non-avian dinosaurs were killed. Unlike the previous ones, this event was caused by an external agent: an asteroid over 13 kilometers wide plunged into Earth at 72,000 kilometers per hour.
Whit this information, we can conclude that many of the factors that led to the late Permian mass extinction also contributed to the late Cretaceous mass extinction, with the exception of a meteor strike.
