Mass extinction events! There have been five in the history of Earth. They all completely suck but some were worse than others. In this episode, KT takes us on a trip hundreds of millions of years into the past to learn about the K-T Extinction Event (yeah, we know. That's an unfortunate coincidence) when a massive asteroid killed the dinosaurs. She also covers the WORST mass extinction event that few people know about: The Permian-Triassic Extinction also known as The Great Dying (I'm sorry but WTF?!)Join us where the only land was the supercontinent of Pangea, dinosaurs ruled the Earth, and all the bad, awful stuff gets measured in gigatons and Empire State Buildings.~~~~~*The Socials and Patreon!Patreon-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Best Buds Club!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistoryPod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube-- ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@High Tales of History⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠ -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠High Tales of History or ⁠⁠@HighTalesofHistory ⁠Email—hightailingthroughhistory@gmail.com⁠ ~~~~~~*Timestamps:00:00 Introduction to Earth's Catastrophic Extinctions10:02 The Mesozoic Era and Dinosaur Dominance19:57 The KT Extinction: Impact and Aftermath29:56 The Permian Extinction: The Worst Mass Extinction40:01 Global Effects of the Impact: Firestorms, Tsunamis, and Climate Change49:54 Lessons from Earth's Past Disasters47:46 The Impact of Water Displacement and Marine Fossils49:19 Earthquake, Tsunamis, and Volcanic Eruptions50:35 The Aftermath: Winter, Darkness, and Starvation51:33 How Bad Was the Asteroid Impact?52:43 Volcanic Activity and Long-Term Cooling55:58 The Permian Extinction and Siberian Traps01:00:00 Earth's Hot Past and Continents01:04:39 The Great Dying: Causes and Consequences01:09:40 The Permian Extinction's Global Impact01:19:50 Marine Extinction and Ocean Changes01:20:57 The Hypothetical Hypercane Storms01:23:25 The Sixth Mass Extinction and Human Impact01:29:59 What We Can Do to Prevent Further Extinction01:34:25 The Resilience of Life and Earth's Future~~~~~~~~~~~~*Source Material and References:https://youtu.be/rFlEe0qflGs?si=gkI7AAbxscfuJTtt https://youtu.be/It8orOogiPI?si=yRwdD_2UagMnbQlp https://share.google/hyAV0tY5YDY8e8IzE https://share.google/zypoYeeeZYbk3Yfwd https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinction_event https://share.google/eA48R22GhJ7KAaTgd https://share.google/QeOmRue2vDK7na4O8 https://share.google/WDuyjb5ENg4fIDL69 https://share.google/XqLRclRn6v4odCHb6 https://share.google/Q8GTyDoZ3Db5zhX7I https://share.google/l3jpRVjNA6Qqt5dLT https://share.google/utrKHzSDmqcubj3yZ https://share.google/lvZixDR3HOnucmNuy https://share.google/ZafjvDcuDrTzxOeqI https://share.google/RCTGGIMXe8OOMmtre https://share.google/SMP2adjjxP8b6oUnW https://share.google/SD7OgqcDFnjCPY0PX https://share.google/mDKp1kRQHu97QbSg1 ⁠~~~~~~~*Intro/outro and Transition Music created all from: "Hit the Streets" Music licensed through Soundstripe on Riverside.fmCode: 5SFLA6TCMVWJERUU, EMPRILZIRAMJL8ZR
