Answer:

1. Deccan Traps Volcanic activity

2. Meteorite impact

Explanation:

1. Sulfurous volcanic gases that were released during  Cretaceous–Paleogene (K–Pg) extinction event, resulted in the fall of global temperature for about 2°C / 35.6°F, which had a detrimental effect for many life forms.

2. <em>Meteorite or asteroid</em> that was about 11-81 km in diameter resulted in a mega-tsunami over 100 meters high and created crater 150 km in diameter.

The blast from the meteorite, ejected pieces back to the atmosphere where they would have been heated when re-entering - broiling earth and causing wildfires. Leftover dust covered the earth for several years, causing the greenhouse effect and killing majority of plants that relied on photosynthesis to survive.

In the autumn, most trees lose their leaves to save energy through the darker winter - is true because the main reason for leaf drop on most trees is that, come winter, it gets pretty cold and dry in our part of the world. Rather than expend energy to protect these fragile organs, trees shed leaves to conserve resources.

In the spring, new leaves grow for absorbing light as the Sun becomes hotter .- YES! this is true , and new leaves do not grow back in the summer it only continues to grow bigger
