The generally accepted theory is that a giant asteroid collided with the earth, causing widespread devastation and ultimately leading to the demise of the dinosaurs. However, as with many scientific theories, this explanation is not without its doubters.
So buckle up, get ready to travel back in time, and prepare to uncover the truth about the extinction of the dinosaurs! Let's go!
Dino-Extinction: The Nuclear Winter
One of the most intriguing parts of the theory that an asteroid caused the extinction of dinosaurs is the idea of a "nuclear winter." The term is used to describe a catastrophic environmental event that would have occurred as a result of the asteroid impact.
Dino-Measurements: the Mean Annual Temperature
When you get a fever, you might want to measure your body temperature from time to time. Thankfully, we invented thermometers and it’s easy to see if we to take some paracetamol pills or if we are fine.
Dino-Volcano Eruption
Another interesting thing scientists found out studying these bacteria’s fossils is that not only they didn’t seem worried about the coming of any kind of nuclear winter:
Dino-Explanation
Talking numbers, when looking at the average temperatures around 66 million years ago, scientists found out they were ranging between 16 and 29 degrees Celsius.
Dino-Outro
The debate over whether an asteroid impact caused a nuclear winter will undoubtedly continue for many years to come.
