The outcomes of each of the mass extinctions is that animal and/or bacteria die.
Mass extinctions are usually followed by a period of rapid diversification as surviving species adapt to new environmental conditions and fill ecological niches left vacant by extinct species. This diversification can lead to the emergence of new species and ecosystems over time.
Notable extinctions during the last mass extinction included all non-avian dinosaurs, pterosaurs, plesiosaurs, and ammonites.
No, they are fundamental to the process of evolution. Mass extinctions are less common.
Yes, extinctions have happened throughout history, they are happening today and will continue to happen in the future.
Mass extinctions occur when extreme temperatures happen.https://science.howstuffworks.com/life/evolution/extinction3.htm
Most extinctions occur as background extinctions because they are longer time periods unlike the shorter mass extinctions which there were only two in the Paleozoic era, the Ordovician mass extinction, and the Permian/Triassic extinction in which 95% of all marine animals became extinct

There is no concrete evidence to suggest a mass extinction will occur in the Cenozoic era. Extinctions have happened throughout Earth's history, but predicting a mass event in a specific era is challenging. It is crucial to focus on conservation efforts to prevent any potential threats to biodiversity.
