Asteroid impact occurred in the mineral-rich region, which caused the release of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere.
Japanese researchers came to the conclusion that the extinction of the dinosaurs was unlikely and due to the fatal accident. Scientists believe that the asteroid impact occurred in the mineral-rich region, which caused the release of hydrocarbons into the atmosphere and increased global climate change. The authors, who published in the journal Scientific Reports.
Dinosaurs and other dinosaurs of the Mesozoic era died out about 65 million years ago, shortly after the fall of a large asteroid with a diameter of nine kilometres. A heavenly body has hit the territory of modern Mexico that led to the formation of Chicxulub — crater diameter of about 180 kilometers. Mass extinction of giant reptiles contributed to global cooling caused by the release to the atmosphere large amounts of dust and soot.
Using computer modeling, scientists have found that the extinction of the dinosaurs could only happen in the case that the fall of an asteroid led to the release into the atmosphere 230-2300 teragrams of black coal. The required content of minerals was characteristic only for 13 percent of the Earth’s surface.
