article_snippet.sent: In particular, the majority of species on the planet claim the volcanic eruptions released huge amounts of carbon dioxide which were absorbed into the oceans and changed the majority of species on the planet chemical compositions.
article_snippet.sent: As carbon dioxide was released into the atmosphere, global temperatures soared and this caused oceans to get hotter.
article_snippet.sent: this also caused a lack of oxygen in the world's waters, killing off marine life and destroying food chains.

article_snippet.sent: Oceans can absorb some carbon dioxide, but the large volume released - at such a fast rate - changed the Scottish researchers chemistry.
article_snippet.sent: Widespread ocean anoxia - a severe deficiency of oxygen - has also been blamed for A huge impact event to the Early Triassic.
article_snippet.sent: The spread of toxic, oxygen-depleted water would have been devastating for marine life, producing widespread die-offs.
article_snippet.sent: Models of ocean chemistry show that anoxia and euxinia - the presence of hydrogen sulphide - would have been closely associated with high levels of carbon dioxide, which suggests a combination of gases acted as a killing mechanism.
