Miracle planet. Episode 4, Extinction & rebirth [videorecording] / a National Film Board of Canada and NHK Japan co-production with Tele Images International, Telepool International, NHK Enterprises 21 Inc. ; Discovery Channel Canada.
"There was a moment in Earth's history, about 250 million years ago, when all life nearly disappeared from the planet. Scientists now believe the cause was an eruption of the Earth's molten core that triggered global climate change. The resulting drop in oxygen levels allowed dinosaurs to rise to supremacy because of their respiratory systems. But in the Earth's continuing cycle of Extinction and Rebirth, they too would suffer a catastrophic end some 150 million years later."--Container.
