  • The mass extinction that took place 250 million years ago and 65 million years ago was due to the catastrophic activities that took place at that time.
  • The extinction almost 95% of the population took place due to major climatic change that took place long time ago (250 million years ago).
  • The extinction of dinosaurs took place 65 million years ago due to the activity of the meteorites that suddenly hit the earth and killed almost all the dinosaurs.
  • Both of the event took place due to gradual process or catastrophic activities.
