    Ngl, this article feels bloviating bordering on AI-generated and/or a padded high school essay. Here’s the relevant Wikipedia article. For instance, by the way:

    This event underscores the complex relationship between catastrophic environmental changes and evolutionary processes, offering valuable insights into the resilience and adaptability of life on Earth. [thank you, obligatory ‘Conclusion’ paragraph from all my phoned-in high school essays.]

    The Carnian Pluvial Event, also known as the Carnian crisis, has left its mark in geological records across the globe, suggesting a widespread environmental impact. [no shit it had a widespread environmental impact??]

      “Underscores the complex relationship” is classic AI slop writing. If I saw that phrase in a student essay I would roll my eyes and open the academic integrity report form.
