What was the primary effect of Deccan Volcanism on the

Solution

The study highlighted that Deccan Volcanism played a significant role in causing mass extinctions of various fauna, including dinosaurs. This catastrophic event aligns with the broader Cretaceous-Paleogene (K-Pg) mass extinction event, which saw a dramatic reduction in biodiversity globally. The volcanic activity likely created severe environmental conditions, such as toxic gases and temperature changes, that were inhospitable for many faunal species, leading to their decline and eventual extinction.
