Researchers from China, the Netherlands and Norway called the cause of Perm extinction – the most disastrous in the history of the Earth – a sharp increase in temperatures due to the emissions of the Siberian trapping province of large volumes of carbon dioxide. Article Professionals Published in Proceedings Of The National Academy of Sciences magazine.
Scientists have contributed to the Land describing the data on the ratio of carbon isotopes, extracted from the lipids contained in the fossil algae and plants. Calculations made and made using astrophronology dating clarification showed that large-scale (more than 36 thousand gigaton) and fast (on average five gigaton per year in 109 thousand years) carbon emissions are explained by large-scale volcanism in Siberian trappes.
“Our calculations show that two major ejection of the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide were the main source of the amount of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Its concentration in the air increased from 400 million dollars in terms of ten thousand, which led to an extremely sharp increase in temperature at the end of the mass perm extinction “,” said one of the authors of the work, Professor University of Oslo Tighters Kürshner.
