In the reading passage, three main theories are explained which are the reasons for the mass extinction of marine life at the end of the Ordovician period. But in the lecture, these reasons are contradicted by giving other three contradictory reasons for each.
In reading it is mentioned that due to the climate change ice sheets were formed which caused the sea level to drop by 100m and due to that habitat of species destroyed in the shallow oceans. But in the lecture, the contradictory reason is mentioned, like the creation of ice sheets took several years near about 700 years the ice age is formed and ocean species get enough time to adapt the environment. Therefore it is not possible that ice sheets are responsible for mass extinction.
The second theory is mentioned in the reading passage is that meteorite caused mass extinction. The dust was created which is responsible for blocking the sun. And most of the animals were depended on the sunlight. But it is not true according to the lecture as it is not possible to cover the sun completely.
The third theory in the reading passage is super UV rays. The sun's ultraviolet rays were very strong to kill the marine organisms who live in the ocean surface. According to the lecture, it is not possible to learn about the animals from fossils that they live on the ocean surface and not deep into the sea.
So, in conclusion, we can say that the theories which are considered in the reading passage on the basis of evidence are false because the relation between evidence and the situation is considered wrongly as per the lecture, therefore, false theories were made.
In the
reading
passage
, three main
theories
are
explained
which are the
reasons
for the mass extinction of marine life at the
end
of the Ordovician period.
But
in the
lecture
, these

are contradicted
by giving other three contradictory
reasons
for each.
In
reading it
is mentioned
that due to the climate
change
ice sheets
were formed
which caused the sea level to drop by
100m
and due to that habitat of species
destroyed
in the shallow
oceans
.
But
in the
lecture
, the contradictory
reason
is mentioned
, like the creation of ice sheets took several years near about 700 years the ice age
is formed
and
ocean
species
get
enough
time to adapt the environment.
Therefore
it is not possible that ice sheets are responsible for mass extinction.
The second
theory
is mentioned
in the
reading
passage
is that meteorite caused mass extinction. The dust
was created
which is responsible for blocking the sun. And most of the animals
were depended

But
it is not true according to the
lecture

The third

is super UV rays. The sun's ultraviolet rays were
very
strong to kill the marine organisms who

ocean
surface. According to the
lecture
, it is not possible to learn about the animals from fossils that they

So
,
in conclusion
, we can say that the

which
are considered
in the

on the basis of evidence are false
because
the relation between evidence and the situation
is considered
wrongly
as per the

,
therefore
