At the end of the Triassic period 200 million years ago, there was a mass-extinction event that caused the extinction of more than half of all living species. It was this extinction event that allowed dinosaurs to become the dominant species for the next

Both the reading and the listening are talking about a mass-extinction event at the end of the Triassic period 200 million ago. The reading suggests that the Triassic period allows the dinosaurs dominate for the next 145 million years. And the lecturer opposites what the passage claims.

The author of the reading thinks that the cause of the mass-extinction is the decline of sea level which involves with changing of food chain due to low population on sea. The lecturer refutes what the passage claims while she believes that while changing the level of sea takes time, the species are able to adapt. Furthermore, she remarks to have effect, faster change is required.

The text suggests the effect of widespread volcanic activity due to lots of SO2 in atmosphere. Because the SO2 could lower the global temperatures, many species can reach to the extensions. However, the professor utters that the effects of SO2 which is cooling global temperature is short period so that it can cause extinction of the species. In addition, lecturer explained the feature of SO2 as well; if SO2 combines with H20, it raises the temperature of the earth again.

The third explanation that the passage adduces is about the asteroids. The asteroids which can block the sun makes the temperature of the area cooler. long sufficient to make plants die. Death of the plant will make the other animal species to suffer. The speaker of the listening doubt the accuracy of the theory. She does not understand where the asteroids come from and it happened long time before of the extinction which means between the event and extinction the species are able to do anything to survive.
