The carboniferous period saw a mass extinction of what type of life and why?

• Land Animals: because pangea was forming and all the geological activity only impacted land animals

• Land animals: because oxygen levels lowered in atmosphere and didn't reach ocean life

• Ocean life:because oxygen levels in the ocean changed causing only ocean life to die.

• Ocean Life: because pangea was forming and the sediments made the ocean water unlivable
