The correct answer is - climate change.

Even though throughout the geological past life on Earth have experienced extinctions caused by multiple different factors, like the extinction of the dinosaurs by a meteor crash, or the biggest extinction that the Earth have ever witnessed, the Permian extinction, caused by massive volcanic activity, still the dominant factor had been the climate change.

The climate change is the factor that was most often responsible for extinctions, and this is very simply because the animals are adapting to certain types of climate, and when the climate changes rapidly they are stuck in an environment in which they are not specialized to survive in, thus are dying out. A nice example is the end of the last ice age, when the temperatures grew significantly in a very short amount of time and the landscape changed dramatically, so most of the mega-fauna died out.

What is the importance of the atmosphere for man​
Gnom [1K]
The atmosphere is important for many reasons. Before we talk about why it is important we should define what the atmosphere is. The atmosphere is the layer of air that surrounds a planet. Earth has an atmosphere that is just right for humans, animals, and plants to live in. The gases in the atmosphere act like a blanket keeping our planet warm plus the atmosphere contains oxygen something we (humans and animals) all need to breathe.

Many planets in our solar system have a atmosphere. Venus for example has such a thick atmosphere most of the sun's energy gets trapped making the surface of Venus 864 degrees Fahrenheit! That is hotter than an oven! Mars also has an atmosphere but it is too thin making the surface of Mars -80 degrees Fahrenheit! Plus the atmospheres of Venus and Mars do not contain the oxygen we all need to breathe.

Our atmosphere allows just enough of the sun's energy back into space so that we do not get to hot like Venus or too cold like Mars. If Earth had no atmosphere, apart from having no air to breathe, the surface of the Earth would be 0 degrees Fahrenheit.

These are just two of the reasons why are atmosphere is important. The atmosphere contains the warmth we all need to survive, the oxygen we all breathe, and carries the rain we all need. Without our atmosphere life as we know it would cease to exist.
