The Worst Catastrophe on Earth Is Finally Explained

Researchers have found compelling evidence that ancient mercury buried in rock points to massive volcanic activity as the cause of the Earth's largest mass extinction, known as 'the Great Dying.' This catastrophic event occurred 252 million years ago and wiped out over 95% of life on Earth, drastically reshaping the planet's biodiversity. The mercury, released by extensive volcanic eruptions, settled into rocks and provides a geochemical signature that ties these eruptions to the extinction event. According to the study, these volcanic eruptions led to severe climate changes, ocean acidification, and widespread habitat destruction. #brightside Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/ Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD...
