horsena [70]

volcanic eruptions are all factors that have led to Loss in the fossil record.

humans and other interaction with the earth.

causes loss of fossil records.

due to the interaction of earth lithospheric plates. This plates either diverge

or converge and causes modification of the earth lithosphere. This

modification causes loss of fossil record.

Asteroid are rocky object in the exosphere that cause massive impact in

the earth when they hit it.  This event that destroys the earth causes loss in

fossil record.

a volcano to the earth surface. They cause massive destruction to the earth
