    Iridium could have been brought to the surface by these explosive events, forming the high levels we now see in the sediment layer. In addition, there is evidence of lava flow, covering 200,000 square miles at depths of more than 6,500 feet in the Deccan region of India (“What killed the dinosaurs?” n.d. para. 4). Fractured crystals also seem to support this hypothesis. These crystals show patterns of fracturing which are caused by impacts or explosions (“What killed the dinosaurs?” n.d. para.…

    could have happened, and of course all hypotheses would be subject to analysis. Asteroid impact theory. The impact of a 10 km+ asteroid would blow a huge rock and vapor above the atmosphere, this would form a large dust cloud that would settle out slowly through the atmosphere during a few weeks, months, or even years. The impact and cloud would spread material that would cover the entire world.…

    advantages (Benton et al. 2014). These factors enabled the dinosaurs to undergo adaptive radiation following the Permo-Triassic mass extinction. The Cretaceous/ Tertiary (K/T) boundary is associated with the mass extinction of dinosaurs, a geological event that dates back approximately 65 million years (Brisman et al. 2001). The extinction of dinosaurs is commonly attributed to a large bolide impacting the Earth and a massive series of volcanic eruptions at the end of the Cretaceous period…

    During recent studies, scientists have discovered prevailing evidence which support the idea that a major meteorite impact may not have been the sole cause of the mass extinction involving the dinosaurs 66 million years ago. Researchers have discovered an array of huge volcanic eruptions in india 66 million years ago which released large amounts of gases into the atmosphere, which drastically altered the climate. This new theory does not in fact eliminate the theory of a massive meteorite…

    In definition, probability refers to the measure of the likelihood of an event happening. The probability for any event occurring falls between 1 percent and 100 percent thus meaning that the interpreted meaning of a probability equals the subject meaning held of the probability (Grinstead et al, 1997). However, it is worth noting that the application of probability or assigning of probability to the events in the effort to gratifying the axioms of probability follows some rules or basics…

    Mesozoic-Cenozoic period. 65 million years ago a meteorite roughly 10 km across hit the earth’s surface, and the impact would be a catalyst to the extinction of 75% of the species living on earth at the time, including the dinosaurs. The impact of the meteorite would have instantly killed any organisms within proximity. But a majority of destruction happened after the impact. The impact blew enough dust, and debris into the atmosphere…
