摘要
The Late Ordovician mass extinction (LOME) was the first global extinction with the destruction of 85 % of marine species. However, the cause of LOME is still controversial. Most studies attribute it to large-scale volcanism caused by global cooling or warming. Through analyzing the driving difference between global cooling and warming on large-scale magmatism, the perspective is intended to evoke a hot discussion on the cause of LOME. Did global cooling or warming trigger the LOME?
