215.Mass Extinctions 
P1:describe extinction 
・mass extinction 
・Permian less attention → unfamiliar 
P2:describe extinction rates 
・today’s extinction rate = past 
・6th extinction is in process 
P3:hypotheses of high extinction rates 
・weather changes 
・ecological changes 
・some in a short time, other took a long time 
・fail consider the simultaneous extinction on land and in the seas 
・humans’ hunting and habitat destruction likely to cause current mass extinction 
P4:new idea: extinction is periodically & new hypothesis: star hits Earth 
P5:new and most attractive hypothesis: asteroid-impact 
・L&WA(Alvarez) 
・Earth collided the asteroid → dark the sky several years  
・massive starvation: herbivores → carnivores 
・suddenly mass extinction 
P6:test asteroid-impact hypothesis 
・presence of Ir: Earth’s crust contains little, but asteroid contains a lot 
・have a briefly dramatic increase in Ir → support the hypothesis 
P7:another evidence 
・crater, heat-shocked quartz and secondary craters 
・found several secondary craters and heat-shocked quart
