Cretaceous extinction also known as Paleogene extinction was a period of time when suddenly around three quarter of the animal and plant species began to get extinct from the land. The event happened around 66 million years ago and is considered as the end of cretaceous era that lead to the beginning of Mesozoic era.
Reasons for the mass extinction:
- Scientists think that a major asteroid or comet hit the surface of earth which deteriorated the earth’s environment, especially by making it difficult for plants to perform the process of photosysnthesis. This is called as Impact hypothesis and scientists think that it was the reason of extinction of so many species because they found debris of asteroid in the land.
- There could also be some other reasons like climate changes,volcanic eruptions and changes in the sea level which made the environment unfavorable for the survival of living organisms.
- One of the best known organism that is thought to extinct in cretaceous period was dinosaur.
Extinction of Dinosaurs:
As stated above the exact cause of dinosaur extinction can not be stated with confidence. This is because cretaceous period was the time when so many unfavorable circumstances took place like diseases, geologic events ,climate change etc.
However, the most believed theory is that some Asteroid hit the surface of earth and turned the climate very very old. Therefore, those amazing creatures were not able to survive that climate.
Hope it help!
No I believe thats the other way around as in photosynthesis. For say water falls on the leaf then the leaf seperates the water from oxygen to give us the oxygen then it starts over to become a cycle.Life
Well lets see Hydro means water so we can scratch out eagle litho is like the crust of the crust of the earth so no shark ducks are involved with water but cant get to the crust so lizard they can go on water and to the crust so lizard

Answer:
Population is a collection of individuals of a species living in a defined area
Explanation:
Population:This is a collection of individuals of the same species occupying the same space and able to interbreed freely with one another when individuals of different sexes are brought together.
A species of animals may comprise a single cohesive population or may contain many geographical distinct populations.
Example:A population of Agama lizards in a Campus located in China.The whole human race, Homo sapiens comprising the black, Mongolian,red and white is a population.A population of <u>Cercopithe</u><u>c</u><u>us</u> <u>erythrogaster</u><u> </u>(Monkeys).
