You're both right and wrong! Algae is a plant, and it's not just an aquatic plant. Here's the literal definition from google. "A simple, nonflowering, and typically aquatic plant of a large group that includes the seaweeds and many single-celled forms. Algae contain chlorophyll but lack true stems, roots, leaves, and vascular tissue".
All land plants descended from a green algae ancestor. So the first colonists on land were probably algal-like, but needed to have certain characteristics (like a cuticle) to live on land. Plants are not algae, Cyanobacteria are not algae (the name blue-green algae is a misnomer). Algae are protists, with their own diverse kingdoms.
Didn't the first mass extinction happen much earlier in precambrian times, when cyanobacteria started releasing massive amounts of oxygen that nearly killed off everything that was living at the time? 🤔
The big 5 are multicellular life extinctions, the great oxygenation event was more like 2.45 billion years ago and before multicellular life was a thing

And then once plants die, everything else that is complex will die.

@@HerrMisterTheo We probably won't exterminate all life. But, look at the great dying. What was the primary reason for it? Climate change. And it was by far the most severe extinction event.

I would love to see you guys do a video on trilobite fossils since I recently heard that most trilobite fossils are from shedded exoskeletons and I have no idea how to tell the difference between a fossilized shed and a fossil of an actual trilobite.
Wouldn't that be the SECOND mass extinction? Or does the Great Oxygenation Event not count, despite wiping out the vast majority of anaerobic life? (Though the two events did have very similar effects on Earth's climate.)
All that means is that a few populations survived the "event" for longer than others. If something wiped out all but a couple hundred humans, it'd still be an extinction event for our species, even though that little population might keep having babies for awhile even amidst unfavorable conditions.
It's crazy how plants caused such a tragic event, but they pretty much paved the road for terrestrial life and actually saved the Earth after the dinosaur extinction event. I never knew plants had such a complex backstory. They just wanted to live on land and accidentally nearly wiped out all other life on Earth, but it was like a revolution for things to be able to exist on land and then they are redeemed by saving the Earth after the most recent extinction event.
Sentient Fetus That would of just been a small group of organisms that managed to pull through, doesn’t mean an entire extinction event never happened. That would be like saying the Asteroid killed every single non avian dinosaur on earth, of course some small populations could make it through an extinction events.

That is an interesting take, and I'm not being sarcastic.
@@joecerone Nukes: Am i a joke to you ?
1 billion years from now, most complex life will probably be extinct. Because 600 million years from now, there will be a mass extinction of plants because the sun will become so hot that plans won’t be able to get the carbon dioxide they need from the atmosphere anymore. And then once plants die, everything else that is complex will die.

You thin you can fool me? i can see south sudan right there
I see you are a man of culture as well.
Even worse, they show the borders of New Mexico when it definitely wasn't around in the Ordovician.
@@sybrandvandermolen7732 I know, right? New Mexico wasn't around until at least the Carboniferous period.
@@sybrandvandermolen7732 That makes it sound like Texas was around back then
@Lars Uelf Texas is eternal, it has always been here, when the world is old and dying, Texas will remain. Texas will always remain...
Steve out here being the mvp, I've seen my guy thanked at the end of every single one of these videos
It's nice to see PBS doing conservation. I could nit-pick on theories being stated as descriptive all the time, but .... I'm still glad to see the conservation.
Plants: *cause the first mass extinction*
Humans : Hold my ecological collapse
Humans the last mass extinction
You gotta be a special kind of stupid if you really think humans will exterminate all life of earth.
@@HerrMisterTheo We probably won't exterminate all life. But, look at the great dying. What was the primary reason for it? Climate change. And it was by far the most severe extinction event. And unlike then, we're causing the entire planet's temperature to increase in decades compared to the great dying that took hundreds of thousands of years. We are causing the most extreme mass extinction event that has ever happened.
@@HerrMisterTheo you have to be a special kind of stupid to believe humanity HASNT made such an impact already, despite the vast amount of evidence clearly saying otherwise.
@@HerrMisterTheo like...for real. A climate change denier has to be pretty stupid if he thinks calling others stupid is really going to have an effect.
Plants: Cause a mass extinction
Vegans: *I'm gonna pretend I didn't see that*
*says the "pro-science" communists*
Hopefully next mass extinction will not be caused by ideologies like efilism and antinatalism based on consent. Inherent optimism bias and terror management theory always helps though.
Jacob H What on earth are you talking about?
@@TerexJ u would suffocate,
Without plants XD
@Winterhold Guard Typical logic is that we must keep reproducing due to fear of extinction.
The fact that we don't have time machines will never cease to break my heart.
It would mean David Attenborough could do a series on dinosaurs. That would be amazing.
Me, too. 😭😭
Fr wish all of these paleontologists and scientists would stop wasting time on trying to figure out what ifs about extinct animals and instead focus on building a time machine then we’d know for sure! 😂 If they’re invented in our life times my family and friends would probably never see me again lmfaoo
What are you talking about, I have a time machine hanging on my wall right now and it says 7:56 AM.
@@iTsEfFiNsTePhh i mean yes and no, if you have a time machine you could return back to the time after you left by however much time lol assuming time machine functions perfectly
this entire channel is so cool for no reason
I'm happy this content is on TH-cam.
Oh, that’s handy timing. :) Great work btw, this is one of my favourite channels!
Plants then " Wanna see me cause the first Mass Extinction?"
Plants now "Wanna see me do it again?"
Illegal Loggers, Business men: ?
@@mr.racooniep3326 fool for you to think that
They are secretly letting themself die just so they can give us reason why them killing us is justified
@@thatguy7155 I don't think plants will kill us tho since it's not predicted in the Simpsons.
Shamanmanmanlan was right, and you all mocked him (I liked that movie).
The first mass extinction event was caused by cyanobacteria way before the event of this video, and it almost extinguished all life on earth. This video is just spreading misinformation.
I literally just found this channel I love it already.
Damn you, plants! When I eat a salad, it's _revenge!_
I love this channel so much
When I was about 3 or 4 years old I found livermoss in our garden and I thought I found an alien lifeform straight out of a lovecraft novel 😹👍

Best channel ever! Hypoxic zones are also responsible for fish die offs when the water is too warm. The water has less ability to hold dissolved gasses. Same way hot soda goes flat more quickly than cold
These videos really are infinitely rewatchable.
I watch PBS Eons so much, the new videos show up in my feed even on my "TV" account that isn't subbed to any channels 😂🤣😁
Keep up the great work!
I would love to see you guys do a video on trilobite fossils since I recently heard that most trilobite fossils are from shedded exoskeletons and I have no idea how to tell the difference between a fossilized shed and a fossil of an actual trilobite.
I'm pretty sure there's no way of distinguish the two, so that might be an assumption from a palaontologist based on almost nothing ^^'
Wouldn't that be the SECOND mass extinction? Or does the Great Oxygenation Event not count, despite wiping out the vast majority of anaerobic life? (Though the two events did have very similar effects on Earth's climate.)
You know, I never realized it until I read your comment, but the Oxygen Catastrophe doesn't tend to be listed among extinction events. I wonder why.
Both extinction events are impossible. Everyone knows that all climate change is caused by humans.
or snowball earth
All that means is that a few populations survived the "event" for longer than others. If something wiped out all but a couple hundred humans, it'd still be an extinction event for our species, even though that little population might keep having babies for awhile even amidst unfavorable conditions.
@@Oxnate Gr8 b8, m8.
This is fascinating, thanks for being so generous and sharing this!!
I found this very interesting!
the background music for this is so soothing
I love how the first 60 seconds of the video applies to the title of it. The rest is just a history lesson after you've been hooked.
My man Steve! is still at it.
Me: *lives* .
Mass extinctions: "You're wellcome" .
All jokes aside this was super super interesting, I feel like I learned something new. like who ever talks about ancient plants
I see you don't go to the same pubs as me. XD
It's crazy how plants caused such a tragic event, but they pretty much paved the road for terrestrial life and actually saved the Earth after the dinosaur extinction event. I never knew plants had such a complex backstory. They just wanted to live on land and accidentally nearly wiped out all other life on Earth, but it was like a revolution for things to be able to exist on land and then they are redeemed by saving the Earth after the most recent extinction event.
Do not underestimate plants, they made us addicted to rice.
And potatoes, and flour
Eat rice? Yeah because the world resolve around you huh?

I was just doing research on mass extinctions, so this came at a good time haha
This is the best TH-cam channel
Sentient Fetus That would of just been a small group of organisms that managed to pull through, doesn’t mean an entire extinction event never happened. That would be like saying the Asteroid killed every single non avian dinosaur on earth, of course some small populations could make it through an extinction events.
Thank you pbs! I’m gonna donate!
We are doing the same to our world as we speak
