An Asteroid Wiped Out the Dinosaurs
Posted on 09. Mar, 2010 by dimaks in News
An Asteroid Wiped Out the Dinosaurs. Scientists of different research discipline have been divided for several decades on what really wiped out the dinosaurs to extinction. There was a split of stand whether the dinosaurs were vanished by an asteroid or by volcanic activity – wherein, there were a series of volcanic disturbance which ran across 1.5 million years, more or less, somewhere in India.
But a new group of scientists from Europe, the United States, Mexico, Canada and Japan found and came to a general statement that there was a certain 15-kilometre (9 miles) wide asteroid that hit the earth at Chicxulubin what is now known as Mexico.
One of the co-authors of the said study, Joanna Morgan of Imperial College London said;
We now have great confidence that an asteroid was the cause of the KT extinction. This triggered large-scale fires, earthquakes measuring more than 10 on the Richter scale, and continental landslides, which created tsunamis.. (Source: Reuters.com)
Another co-author from Imperial College, Gareth Collins moreover said that, that certain asteroid made a “hellish day” that triggered the end of the millions of years existence of the gigantic creatures and became the pivotal point for the mammals on the land.
I say, there is still a lot in store for us to discover in the coming decades or maybe another millions of years. And who knows, it is the mammal’s time to give way for another life form or being to reign on earth.
Oh well, this finding is dubbed “Official” in Reuters.

So this is official huh?
Baka ung asteroid na yan ang nagbigay ng Ice Age sa mundo. Nung bumagsak ang asteroid, nagkaroon ng makapal na dust na nagblock sa sun at kaya nagkaroon ng weather change.
