What other geological events have contributed to mass extinctions during Earth's history? [Select ALL that apply]

major changes in Earth's carbon cycle caused by volcanic eruptions, trapping large amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere

large-scale weathering of freshly uplifted rocks, which drew carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere and drastically cooled the planet

constant movement of tectonic plates within the Earth's core, creating an uprising of carbon trapping heat within the atmosphere

sudden changes in the Earth's climate, creating extreme weather conditions like floods, hurricanes, and earthquakes

extreme amounts of nitrogen, causing Earth's oceans to begin freezing at a rapid pace, preventing its inhabitants from surviving

sexual reproduction produces offspring with novel combinations of genes. species that reproduce sexually must maintain two different types of individuals, males and females, which can limit the ability to colonize new habitats as both sexes must be present.

step 1: nitrogen fixation- conversion of atmospheric no₂ into forms useful to plants by lightning, bacteria, and cyanobacteria.

step 2: nitrification-process of converting ammonia to nitrite or nitrate.

step 3: assimilation-plant roots absorb new form of nitrogen.

step 4: ammonification-conversion of organic nitrogen to ammonia by bacteria involved in decomposition.

step 5: denitrification-bacteria turns the decomposed matter back into n₂o, which is released into atmosphere; repeat cycle.
