The Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, or the K-T event, is the name given to the die-off of the dinosaurs and other species that took place some 65.5 million years ago. For many years, paleontologists believed this event was caused by climate and geological changes that interrupted the dinosaursâ food supply.
Why are species going extinct due to anthropogenic changes? Species are poorly adapted and therefore are unable to survive. Massive changes occurring rapidly all over the Earth are causing species to go extinct in a random pattern. Only those species sensitive to warmer temperatures are going extinct. Species are going extinct at the same rate as always.
