Rapid mass extinction may occur as a result of **a catastrophic event**. While loss of habitat and food sources can contribute to declines in certain species, catastrophic events (such as asteroid impacts, volcanic eruptions, or large-scale climate shifts) have historically been linked to rapid mass extinctions.
