I think that the natural causes of the extinction of animals and plants is a natural disaster.For example: volcanoes, earthquakes, plate movement, magnetic reversal, mudslides, floods, drought, global warming, etc.

I'm afraid you are not quite right there. Individual events such as single eruptions and mudslides have only local effects. Extinctions imply world-wide changes, usually of climate, but these can follow very large-scale, very long-term volcanic activity.

Earthquakes don't drive species into extinction - their only fatal effects on wildlife are local and generally from either resulting tsunamis or landslides.
