Quiz/Review• Get out a small piece of paper and put your
name on it. • When the bell rings,
the quiz will begin.
Question 1
• What are mass movements?
Question 2
• Name 2 types of mass movements.
Question 3
• What is one major cause of a landslide?
Answers
1) Large area of earth moved by gravity down a slope.
2) Slump, Slide, Fall or Flow3) Increase in water or slope
Mass Extinctions
Geologic Time Scale
• Earth was formed 4.6 BYA (billion Years Ago)
• How do we know this? • How old is the oldest rock
on Earth?– (look at your ESRT!)
Geologic timeline
Mass Extinctions
• These are events where most or a lot of living things on Earth were killed.
• To go Extinct means to have a whole species die and nothing is left living from that species.
Causes of mass extinctions
• Meteor impacts• Global Warming• Oxygen levels• Sea level change• Storms• Volcanic eruptions• Possible many more things… can you think of
something?
5 Major mass extinctions• Cretaceous (65mya) – 62% loss of species caused by impact and flood basalts
• Triassic (210mya) – 65% loss of species caused by impact and flood basalt.
• Permian (250mya)– 90% loss of species caused by impact, flood basalts, & global
warming.• Devonian (365mya)– 72% loss of species caused by impact.
• Ordovician (445mya)– 65% loss of species caused by ice age and sea level fall (still
debated)
Historic Mass Extinctions• One famous one is the K-T extinction.– Cretaceous and Tertiary periods– Where the dinosaurs died.
• Now?? Humans?– Global Warming– Sea level rise– Changing CO2 level– Loss of resources
