- One of the things that caused the worst mass extinction ever, this happened about a quarter billion years ago, we call it the Great Dying, we think was caused by these giant volcanic fissures in Siberia, but it was exacerbated by the fact that all the continents just happened to bump into each other at that time, creating the supercontinent called Pangaea.
