Today we are going to share about an asteroid that hit the earth did the death of all dinosaurs call it massive Extinction of dinosaurs.
How is all this related to an asteroid that hit the planet earth
What killed the dinosaurs
It was a usual morning while dinosaurs we are looking for what to eat while not knowing that Danger was coming.
Something which was 10 kilometers wide knocked the Earth. According to scientists this thing caused death of many living things and some never to exist again 75% of living things lost their lives and almost all dinosaurs we are killed except those which could fly.
What might have caused these giant animals today this has been a debate since 200 years back and there are many theories that tried to explain this.
But the truth theory is this, these astrophysits below found out the real truth about the death of the dinosaurs.
These scientists found out a crater where there is some evidencial suspects that might have caused the death of dinosaurs, how comes that this creater caused the chasing away of all the other theories.
A geophysist Called Glen Penfield trying to make some research on a Gulf of Mexico in 1978. He found out that there was something round which was a deep hole it was 150 km big and 20 km deep on the magnetic servay map. In the Society of Geophysists conference in Loss Angel, Geln
Decided to show off what he had found out but his report was taken for granted.
But in 1980 a Geophysists and his son found out that some areas on the Earth are highly enreached with iridlum which is not common on Earth and it was like 60 million years here on earth but it is common in asteroids which usually hit the Earth.
This is scientists continue to find some techtites, these are glass like stones which are usually formed due to high pressure exposed to the Earth example if a nuclear weapon is used. They concluded that the mass Extinction of dinosaurs was caused by an asteroid that hit the Earth.
There are two suspects that are in the case of the massive Extinction of dinosaurs.
Suspect 1
The amount of iridlum that was found in the cater in Mexico confirmed that it is where the asteroid landed and exposed a lot of pressure which had a diameter of 5 km and it is suspected to have fallen from the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
Asteroids usually fall from the asteroid belt which are commonly is known as comets.
Suspect 2
How can we explain this according to the size of the crater.
At first the calculations where I made depending on the amount of iridlum that was found in the crater but later calculations were made depending on the size of the crater and this showed that a comet is the one that created this deepration.
The chemicals found in the crater in Gulf of Mexico are usually due to high pressure exposed on something hence a Comet was also suspected.
