Perm: Characteristics, Distribution, Geology, Flora and Fauna

Abstract

This was the sixth Palaeozoic period between Carboniferous and Triassic (Mesozoic). This lasted for about 48 million years and it can be said that it was a time of transition for the planet both geographically and climatically. During the Permian period, a number of important biological changes took place, such as the first outline of mammals in the so-called mammalian animal statistics, as well as the diversity and expansion of all other living things that exist. This period has been studied very well by experts, especially at the end of it, because the most destructive and destructive mass extinction event on the planet took placehere (more than the extinction of the dinosaurs). Caused to happen). In it, commonly known as the "Great Death", more than 90% of the species disappeared. During this event, conditions on the planet changed in such a way that life on the planet was practically unbearable.
