Answer:

The largest mass extinction ever recorded on earth was that which occurred at the end of the end of the Permian period.

Explanation:

The largest mass extinction of species ever recorded on Earth, which occurred 252 million years ago and eliminated 96% of marine fauna, occurred at the end of the Permian period and was the result of global warming and left the animals of the oceans without sufficient oxygen to survive.

The lack of oxygen caused by global warming explains more than half of the loss of marine diversity in this late Permian mass extinction and other factors, such as acidification or changes in the productivity of photosynthetic organisms, acted as additional causes, according to these scientists.

The situation at the end of the Permian, when the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere generated higher temperatures on Earth, is similar to the current one.

Which of the following is not an accurate statement about Russia? It is the largest country in the world in terms of land area.
victus00 [196]

The correct answer is - Of its mountain ranges, the Urals are the highest.


This is the statement that is not accurate, the Urals are not the highest mountain range in Russia, there's multiple mountains that are much higher than the Urals. In fact, the Urals are not even a mountain range that falls into the category of high mountain, but in a medium height mountain range.

Even though the height is not recognizable for the Urals, their trademark is their length, they are the longest mountain range in Russia.
