Double Trouble: Fire and Fury Reveal Twin Mass Extinctions from Ancient Volcanic Eruptions

Volcanic eruptions have been wreaking havoc on the planet for centuries, and new research suggests that two mass extinctions in the ancient past were caused by two separate eruptions.

The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, looked at the fossil record of two mass extinctions that occurred about 250 million years ago. The researchers found that both extinctions were caused by two separate eruptions, which occurred at different times and in different locations.

The first eruption occurred in what is now Siberia, and is believed to have been the largest volcanic eruption in Earth’s history. This eruption, known as the Siberian Traps, is thought to have released enough lava and ash to cover an area the size of the United States.

The second eruption occurred in what is now India, and is believed to have been much smaller than the first. This eruption, known as the Deccan Traps, is thought to have released enough lava and ash to cover an area the size of France.

The researchers believe that the two eruptions caused a double whammy of destruction, leading to the mass extinction of up to 90% of all species on Earth. The first eruption is thought to have caused global warming, while the second eruption is thought to have caused global cooling.

The researchers believe that the two eruptions were likely the result of a single event, such as a meteorite impact or a supervolcano eruption.

The findings of this study are important for understanding how mass extinctions occur, and how they can be prevented in the future. #MassExtinctions #VolcanicEruptions #SiberianTraps #DeccanTraps
