The "great dying," also known as the Permian-Triassic extinction event, was partially caused by **algae consuming too much oxygen from the ocean**. This event is believed to have caused massive anoxia in the oceans, which contributed to the extinction of a significant number of species. Other factors, such as volcanic activity and changing climate conditions, also played a role in this extinction event.
