Explanation:

Extinction is the complete elimination or termination of a species from the environment. Many factors can result in the extinction of a species. One of them is a sudden catastrophic event like the meteor strike that eliminated the dinosaurs. Other factors include habitat loss, a higher death rate than birth rate in the population, and etcetera. There have been several extinction events in earth's history; the Ordovician Mass Extinction, Devonian Mass Extinction, Permian Mass Extinction, Triassic-Jurassic Mass Extinction, and Cretaceous-Tertiary (or the K-T) Mass Extinctions.
