Answer:

Permian-Triassic mass extinction

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The Permian-Triassic extinction event, occurred at about 252 MYA. This period marks the boundary between the Permian and Triassic periods.
  • It is the most severe extinction event that took place on earth, with up to 96% of all marine species and 70% of terrestrial vertebrate species becoming extinct.
  • Due to such a great biodiversity loss, the recovery of life on Earth took a longer time than other extinction events.
