Did the Chicxulub asteroid knock Earth’s thermometer out of the ballpark?
When the Chicxulub asteroid smashed into Earth 65 million years in the past, the occasion drove an abrupt and long-lasting period of worldwide warming, with a speedy temperature enhance of 5° Celsius (C) that endured for roughly 100,000 years, a … Continue reading
Site of asteroid impact changed the history of life
An asteroid, also known as the Chicxulub Impactor, hit Earth some 66 million years ago, causing a crater 180 km wide. The impact of the asteroid heated organic matter in rocks and ejected it into the atmosphere, forming soot in … Continue reading
