A new study reveals how the oceans of Earth suddenly lost all oxygen, causing mass extinction event. Can it happen again?
The positioning of continents, a previously unrecognized element, contributes to the oxygenation of Earth's waters. Moving continents may ultimately have the reverse result, killing most deep-sea animals.
A previously overlooked factor — the position of continents — helps fill Earth’s oceans with life-supporting oxygen. Continental movement could ultimately have the opposite effect, killing most deep ocean creatures.
Researchers from University of California, Riverside have warned that movement of Earth's continents could wipe out marine life in the deepest parts of the oceans by starving them of oxygen.
A new study published by a group of experts looks into the reason for the Late Ordovician mass extinction.
