Ordovician Mass Extinction- Causes & Consequences | GEO GIRL

[@tonytaskforce3465]

The oxygen-deprived sea with a sludgy mass of Fool's Gold clogging up the seafloor is just what happened earlier during the 'Boring Billion' of 1.8 to .8 billion years ago during the Proterozoic Eon. Fascinating and I hope it doesn't happen again, especially when I'm alive. 🤔

Seems like the African continent going on holiday to the South Pole just as a whole lot of nasty volcanoes went off sent the planet to hell in a handbasket. Everything was still hostile when moss worked out how to eat rocks and heated the place up with heaps of CO2. This at least is my child-like understanding. It's a wonder anything survived.

[@Smilo-the-Sabertooth]

Don’t get me wrong, I think extinction is a very devastating event to take place. I mean to think that an entire species can just disappear off the face of the Earth, gone forever, but I believe that it all happens for a reason. Sometimes the natural causes of extinctions can be pretty interesting and fascinating, but when it comes to extinctions that are caused by human greed and destruction, it’s just absolutely horrible to think about, and the man made disasters that can affect this world in a negative way. My point here is “Don’t destroy nature, let nature destroy itself because it could possibly lead to shaping a new natural world.”

The Big 5 mass extinctions. What % of loss of life is to be considered a mass extinction? I ❤️ GEO GIRL

[@GEOGIRL]

What a great question! I think originally these 'Big 5' were designated based on periods in the rock record marked by a significant transition of the types of life present in one layer to the next. There were 5 major transitions like this that were widespread and globally conspicuous throughout the rock record. However, it wasn't until later that we started to make estimates as to how much life went extinct during those events, and through this closer look, we also found other (less well preserved) extinction events in the rock record. We now know of many extinction events that rival these 'Big 5' and may even have been more devastating in some cases, but we haven't officially changed or added to the list of "Big" Phanerozoic extinctions (I'm not sure why, probably just because it's hard to get scientists to revisit something that was so well agreed on in the past). But to answer your question about what percent counts as a mass extinction, I think it's hard to say because I googled it and it said ~70-75% of all species, but I know there are many mass extinctions that had less than 70% species loss, so who knows haha! I think it also may depend on recovery time (maybe less than 70% went extinct, but it took so long for life to recover that it was classified as a mass extinction, something like that). Anyway, hope that somewhat answers your question! :D

[@JoesFirewoodVideos]

[@danielhunt3622]

I've read that a large igneous province and violent stratospheric volcanic eruptions are suspected to have caused ocean anoxia and cooling preceding the first Ordovician extinction. This is based on sulfur mass independent fractionation increase of S33 isotope found in sediment and polar core samples. The increase is thought to be generated by exposure of sulfur dioxide to the short uv radiation as is present above the ozone layer from violent eruptions. It seems inconceivable that the drastic climate changes that occurred were instigated by the processes you describe.

The Great Moss Extinction event?

[@user-nz6ug4ru8f]

Thanks a ton. Just an idea: is the composition of the rain contributing to the rock weathering known? If so, could H2NO3 and H2SO4 dissolved in the raindrops, be of any influence on the speed and impact? Any period with increased vulcanic eruptions causes acid rain. So my question: how acid was the rain during first and second extinction. (If organic acids produced by non vascular plants matter, than so must strong acids in the rain matter even more)

[@GEOGIRL]

Good thought! You're right, the rain was acidic, that's why I brought up the rain and chemical weathering across the intertropical convergence zone. But the rain during that time wasn't any more acidic than any other time in Earth's history, the major global change that was occurring was the spread of plants over land, so that is what caused the initial shift which set off other positive feedbacks. :)

~ @3:15 Why would weathering cause a decrease in CO2? Ho, I listened further and you mention an other video about that ooops I asked too soon not to forget. But in a nutshell, why?

[@GEOGIRL]

Great question! The chemical weathering of silicate rocks leads to the influx of Ca ions to the ocean which react with bicarbonate ions to precipitate CaCO3 which creates a longterm C 'sink' that stores C in rocks for thousands to millions of years. Any C sink or any process that increases C burial (whether it be organic or inorganic C) decreases the amount of C available to be oxidized & released to the atmosphere as CO2. An increase in organic C burial from an increase in primary productivity (photosynthetic blooms at the surface) has the same effect, but CaCO3 tends to store C in the rocks longer over geologic time than organic C does because organic C is more easily oxidized. Hope that helps! :)

6:34 The *ranges* for those growth factors are huge, and therefore untrustworthy.

[@GEOGIRL]

Sure, but even the lower limits of the ranges are all over 1 which still supports the point that the weathering rates increase due to mosses, right?

[@RonJohn63]

@@GEOGIRL That's missing the point. Complaints numbered for clarity: (1) Anyone who's seen a *weathered* old *moss-covered* tombstone can pretty quickly _intuit_ that moss aids in weathering. (2) A bryologist should tell a geologist how and to what degree that mosses physically and chemically weather rock. (A joint experiment with bryologists and geologists could _really_ quantify how much mosses contribute to weathering. Might take a few decades, though.) (3) Mosses need shade and moisture. (That might have been different 400Mya, but I'm dubious). There's a lot less shade without vascular (vertical) plants, which means a lot less moss in the environment, which means much less "bryo-morphic" weathering. (4) If bryo-morphic climate change required numbers near the upper bounds of those graph ranges, but in reality moss only caused weathering near the lower bounds, then mosses were only a minor contributor to climate change.

[@GEOGIRL]

​@@RonJohn63 Great points! I agree geologists and bryologists should get together to study this, I think it'd be really interesting. Anyway, I didn't mean my comment as derogatory in any way, I am genuinly curious because that's how I understood the data, but I am not a bryologist or weathering expert. To my understanding, the event of mosses was significant just because there hadn't been anything on land larger than microbes and fungi before the mosses, so even though they have a small effect on weathering, it was exacerbated by the fact that there was no weathering before their spread onto land. However, I completely agree that they needed moisture and would've been limited to environments near water, so maybe their effect wasn't as great as we thought. This is all speculation to explain the extinciton in the rock record so if a better explanation comes along I am all ears ;) I think many times it is not as clear cut as one factor causing the extinction event, it is typically much more dynamic and hard to piece together. That is why I devote my life to studying Earth's past so we can figure out these minute details! :D

The Cambrian had a mid-period mass extinction and a serious extinction at the end of that period. As I am working on themes of environment and extinction I would wonder if the Cambrian extinction was a mass extinction or just a recession in the biodiversity of life. There's not much evidence of plant-based mass extinctions in the Ord. Could a disease or mass dying caused by acidification cause a runaway reaction resulting in oceanic anoxia? We do see evidence of anoxic events during volcanic periods and when diseases or biotoxins kill off reefs, and decaying animals produce acids and deoxidizing chemicals that kill other reefs. ... It could be caused by a biological system but the implication is a runaway event, like a virus, algae bloom, or bacteria created by a volcano or gamma ray damaged ecosystem.
