Was dinosaur extinction a result of a massive impact by an asteroid? Support for this comes from what has been interpreted as a massive impact crater (called Chicxulub) in Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula plus an iridium rich layer in the geologic record between the Cretaceous and Tertiary rock layers. It may be better to understand these and other geologic features to be the result of "big belches" of basalt—flood basalts. That interpretation fits nicely with the Bible's account of Noah's Flood and the associated massive catastrophism.

📺 Chicxulub impact visualization

MYApictures ^{📤 8 years ago 2009-09-28}

A visualization of the immediate and long-term environmental effects of the impact event which marked the end of the Cretaceous period, circa 65 mya. Produced by Radek Michalik and David Dolak in collaboration with the Science Institute at Chicago's Columbia College. I DID NOT MAKE THIS.

If such an impact were to occur today, the best strategy for immediate survival would be to be in a different hemisphere when it happened. The kinetic energy of a six-mile-wide rock piling into the earth at 50,000 mph must be conserved, and in order to do this much of this energy is converted to thermal energy - enough to cause third-degree burns from seven hundred and fifty miles away, and to light you on fire if you are much closer. Little to nothing would survive within six hundred miles of the impact zone - note the "scorched earth" appearance of the North American continent at KT + 2 weeks. Other immediate effects include a major earthquake, an airblast capable of leveling forests and buildings, semi-molten ejecta raining from the sky and sparking global wildfires and, once the shockwave reaches the antipodal point of the Earth, massive volcanic eruptions which can last for many thousands of years (such as those that formed the Siberian Traps).

A modern theory states that not one, but several impacts ushered forth the mass extinction to follow, including the impacts which created the Silverpit Crater in the English Channel, and Boltysh Crater in the Ukraine; though neither were as large or devastating as Chicxulub, they are possibly the result of an impact similar to comet Shoemaker-Levy 9 on Jupiter.

The University of Arizona has released a calculator for estimating the effects of small- to large-scale impact events.

📺 Iridium and the Dinosaurs

Naked Science ^{📤 4 years ago 2013-05-01}

The iridium anomaly. 550 metres beneath the Earth's surface there exists a thin layer of space rock. Often taken as evidence of an extraterrestrial impact event resulting in the extinction of the dinosaurs, along with about 70% of all other species.

Footage from the 2012 documentary, "Down to the Earth's Core".

We have travelled into space and looked deep into the universe's depths, but the world beneath our feet remains unexplored and unseen. Now, that's about to change. For the first time in one epic unbroken shot, we embark on an impossible mission - using spectacular computer generated imagery to smash through three thousand miles of solid rock, and venture from our world into the underworld and on to the core of the Earth itself.

It's a journey fraught with danger. One thousand feet down we find ourselves inside one of the planet's most volatile places - the San Andreas Fault. Caught between two huge rock slabs, we watch as stress builds and then releases. It unleashes an earthquake and blasts us on towards rivers of molten rock, explosive volcanoes, tears in the Earth's crust and giant tornadoes of liquid metal. But for every danger, there are wonders beyond imagination.

Four hundred feet below the surface, a three hundred million year old fossilized forest, with every leaf and every piece of bark perfectly preserved. At one thousand feet down we enter a cave of giant crystals, glistening in deadly 122 degree heat. More than two miles underground we find buried treasure - gold and gems. Deeper still there are valuable resources - salt, oil, coal and iron. And over one hundred miles down we see the sparkling beauty of diamonds.

As we descend we piece together our planet's extraordinary story. We rewind time to discover how prehistoric forests became modern-day fuel. 1700 feet down a layer of rock reveals the extraordinary story of the dinosaurs' cataclysmic death. We watch stalactites form and gold grow before our eyes. The deeper we travel into the underworld the more we understand our world above the surface. A bigger picture takes shape - a cycle of destruction and creation, driven by the core that sustains our dynamic planet and makes the Earth the only planet with life in a seemingly lifeless universe.

Until, finally, three thousand miles down, we reach the core. Inside it lie the secrets of life as we know it - the magnetic force field that protects life on Earth from the sun's deadly rays, the ancient heat source that keeps our planet alive. Down to the Earth's Core brings the latest science together with breathtaking computer generated imagery. The result is an unmissable journey into an extraordinary world - full of dangers, wonders and secrets. And it's all down there, beneath our feet, right now waiting to be discovered.

📺 Why Did The DINOSAURS DIE?

Mega Top Tens ^{📤 2 years ago 2015-11-27}

Sixty-five million years ago the last of the non-avian dinosaurs went extinct. So too did the giant mosasaurs and plesiosaurs in the seas and the pterosaurs in the skies. Plankton, the base of the ocean food chain, took a hard hit. Many families of brachiopods and sea sponges disappeared. The remaining hard-shelled ammonites vanished. Shark diversity shriveled. Most vegetation withered. In all, more than half of the world's species were obliterated.

What caused this mass extinction that marks the end of the Cretaceous and the beginning of the Paleogene? Scientists have yet to find an answer. The one that does must explain why these animals died while most mammals, turtles, crocodiles, salamanders, and frogs survived. Birds escaped. So did snails, bivalves, sea stars (starfish), and sea urchins. Even hardy plants able to weather climate extremes fared OK.

Scientists tend to huddle around one of two hypotheses that may explain the Cretaceous extinction: an extraterrestrial impact, such as an asteroid or comet, or a massive bout of volcanism. Either scenario would have choked the skies with debris that starved the Earth of the sun's energy, throwing a wrench in photosynthesis and sending destruction up and down the food chain. Once the dust settled, greenhouse gases locked in the atmosphere would have caused the temperature to soar, a swift climate swing to topple much of the life that survived the prolonged darkness.

Asteroid or Volcanoes?

The extraterrestrial impact theory stems from the discovery that a layer of rock dated precisely to the extinction event is rich in the metal iridium. This layer is found all over the world, on land and in the oceans. Iridium is rare on Earth but it's found in meteorites at the same concentration as in this layer. This led scientists to postulate that the iridium was scattered worldwide when a comet or asteroid struck somewhere on Earth and then vaporized. A 110-mile-wide (180-kilometer-wide) crater carved out of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, called Chicxulub, has since been found and dated to 65 million years ago. Many scientists believe the fallout from the impact killed the dinosaurs.

But Earth's core is also rich in iridium, and the core is the source of magma that some scientists say spewed out in vast, floodlike flows that piled up more than 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) thick over 1 million square miles (2.6 million square kilometers) of India. This bout of volcanism has also been dated to about 65 million years ago and would have spread the iridium around the world, along with sunlight-blocking dust and soot and greenhouse gases.

Both hypotheses have merit. Some scientists think both may have contributed to the extinction, and others suggest the real cause was a more gradual shift in climate and changing sea levels. Regardless of what caused the extinction, it marked the end of Tyrannosaurus rex's reign of terror and opened the door for mammals to rapidly diversify and evolve into newly opened niches.

📺 The Cretaceous-Tertiary Mass Extinction: What Really Killed the Dinosaurs?

Harvard Museum of Natural History ^{📤 3 years ago 2015-03-18}

About 66 million years ago, 70 percent of all the species that existed at the time, including the non-avian dinosaurs, became extinct in an apocalypse widely thought to have been caused by a meteor or comet impact on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula. At approximately the same time, a series of volcanic eruptions in Western India produced torrents of lava that discharged large amounts of carbon dioxide and sulfur gas into the atmosphere. Mark Richards reviews these remarkable events and explains a radical new theory suggesting they may be causally related. He also discusses how ongoing research is shedding new light on the true cause(s) of the Cretaceous-Tertiary mass extinction.

📺 Flood basalt - Video Learning - WizScience.com

Wiz Science™ ^{📤 2 years ago 2015-09-02}

A "flood basalt" is the result of a giant volcanic eruption or series of eruptions that coats large stretches of land or the ocean floor with basalt lava. Flood basalt provinces are often called "traps", which derives from the characteristic stairstep geomorphology of many associated landscapes. Eleven distinct flood basalt episodes occurred in the past 250 million years, resulting in large volcanic provinces, creating plateaus and mountain ranges on Earth. Large igneous provinces have been connected to five mass extinction events, and may be associated with bolide impacts

The formation and effects of a flood basalt depend on a range of factors, such as continental configuration, latitude, volume, rate, duration of eruption, style and setting , the preexisting climate state, and the biota resilience to change.

One proposed explanation for flood basalts is that they are caused by the combination of continental rifting and its associated decompression melting, in conjunction with a mantle plume also undergoing decompression melting, producing vast quantities of a tholeiitic basaltic magma. These have a very low viscosity, which is why they 'flood' rather than form taller volcanoes. Another explanation is that they result from the release, over a short time period, of melt that has accumulated in the mantle over a long time period.

The Deccan Traps of central India, the Siberian Traps, and the Columbia River Plateau of western North America are three regions covered by prehistoric flood basalts. The largest and best-preserved continental flood basalt terrain on Earth is part of the Mackenzie Large Igneous Province in Canada. The maria on the Moon are additional, even more extensive, flood basalts. Flood basalts on the ocean floor produce oceanic plateaus.

📺 Yucatan Peninsula, Punta Laguna.

Carlos Navarro ^{📤 7 years ago 2010-12-08}

Many years ago, when the small Mayan village of Punta Laguna -located between Chichen Itza and Cancun, in Mexico's Yucatan Peninsula- was founded, the locals decided to protect the forest around the beautiful lagoon. Years later, the Mexican government agreed to their petitions and declared the OTOCH MA'AX YETEL KOOH reserve on June 05, 2002. Meaning "home of the spider monkey and the puma" in Mayan language, the reserve is a small heaven for numerous creatures including spider and black howler monkeys, ocellated turkeys, Morelett's crocodiles, ocelots and pumas. Visitors are always welcome and are offered many activities to enjoy nature in an environmentally-friendly way. Local guides could be hired at the entrance and are a real asset to locate monkeys and other wildlife. So, if you are in Cancun, Tulum, Playa del Carmen or anywhere in the Mayan Riviera, consider visiting Punta Laguna and the OMYK reserve for a great natural experience!

About this truly scientific action adventure:
We are witnessing the world transforming -- experiencing extreme weather, earthquakes and tsunamis as well as upheavals in crowded and oppressed nations. DeepStorm OutTack follows the relevant issues and the young scientists who aim to learn from the distant past as they attempt to build a better future for the Earth and new Near Earth Territories.

More fully, about the future that's ahead of all of us:
Members of an elite young research team, Drs Mei Sai Ling and Steve Nord are defined by their spirit and determination as well as by their remarkable science [see Table of Contents - Glossary]. The UN Security Council's response to catastrophic natural disasters that lead to chaos and war, is to send the scientists out to the Near Earth Territories to observe the developments.

Initially an enigma for inclusion in the team, paraplegic Sashia Dubchek is an experiment who didn't end up right and yet is also selected as a 'best of breed' from the gruelling InviHundred games -- an event aimed at sorting out 'fimans', humans with genetically engineered physiques, for life in the Territories. Lively, curiously intuitive and daring, Sashia moves instinctively to the forefront of all the action.

Throughout battles, even reaching the Territories, the team grapples with understanding the true dynamics of the changing Earth. Until, finally, aided by an imaginative technique for glimpsing the demise of the dinosaurs, they succeed in developing revolutionary new concepts in the Earth Sciences. Revealed, for the first time, free of mankind's industrial influences, is the relentless impact that the Earth's planetary ageing has on the environment. Subtly different perspectives -- on continental drift, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, climate change and even evolution -- unfold before the fimans and, best of all, the reader.

📺 How Did All Dinosaurs Except Birds Go Extinct?

American Museum of Natural History ^{📤 5 years ago 2012-07-10}

The extinction of non-avian dinosaurs except birds at the end of the Cretaceous has intrigued paleontologists for more than a century. In the 1900s, numerous speculative hypotheses were proposed. One was that dinosaurs just got too big, but the largest dinosaurs, such as Apatosaurus, lived long before the end of the Cretaceous.

Then in 1980, Walter and Luis Alvarez discovered that a bed of marine clay in Italy, right at the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary, contained abnormally high levels of iridium, an element rare in rocks on the Earth's surface but more common in asteroids and comets. Thus, they argued that an asteroid, about 10 km across, impacted the Earth, generating massive tsunamis, with impact debris cutting off sunlight for months, stopping photosynthesis, and causing freezing temperatures. Chemical reactions in the atmosphere caused acid rain and long-term global warming, all of which extinguished non-avian dinosaurs. Rocks from an impact crater called Chicxulub, buried beneath the shore of the Yucatan Peninsula, were dated radioisotopically at 65 million years, right when the extinctions occurred, confirming an impact.

However, at the same time, massive lava flows erupted across what is now southwest India. These layers of lava, called the Deccan Traps, are up to 2,400 m thick and cover an area as large as California. They represent the second largest episode of continental volcanism in the Earth's history. The eruptions occurred over a 500,000 year period spanning the end of the Cretaceous, and probably caused many of the same effects as the impact: reduced sunlight, acid rain, short-term cooling, long-term greenhouse warming.

Although most scientists believe that the impact represented the final blow for non-avian dinosaurs, the fact that both events occurred when these dinosaurs went extinct suggests that both events, with their similar "killing mechanisms," could well have played a role.

📺 Reflections of Yucatán

TheMark2videos ^{📤 7 years ago 2010-11-29}

The Yucatán Peninsula, in southeastern Mexico, separates the Caribbean Sea from the Gulf of Mexico, with the northern coastline on the Yucatán Channel. The peninsula lies east of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec, a northwestern geographic partition separating the region of Central America from the rest of North America.
The peninsula comprises the Mexican states of Yucatán, Campeche, and Quintana Roo; the northern part of the nation of Belize; and Guatemala's northern department of El Petén.
The peninsula is the exposed portion of the larger Yucatán Platform, all of which is composed of carbonate and soluble rocks, being mostly limestone although dolomite and evaporites are also present at various depths. The whole of the Yucatán peninsula is an unconfined flat lying karst landscape. Sinkholes, locally called cenotes are widespread in the northern lowlands.
According to the Alvarez hypothesis, the mass extinction of the dinosaurs at the transition from the Cretaceous (K) to the Tertiary (T) Periods (the K-T Boundary) 65 million years ago was caused by an asteroid impact somewhere in the greater Caribbean Basin. The deeply buried Chicxulub Crater is centered off the north coast of the peninsula near the town of Chicxulub. The now-famous "Ring of Cenotes" (visible in NASA imagery) outlines one of the shock-waves from this impact event in the rock of ~65 millions years of age, which lies more than 1 km below the modern ground surface near the centre, with the rock above the impact strata all being younger in age. The presence of the crater has been determined first on the surface from the Ring of Cenotes, but also by geophysical methods, and direct drilling with recovery of the drill cores.
The Yucatán Peninsula comprises a significant proportion of the ancient Maya Lowlands (although the Maya culture extended south of the Yucatán Peninsula, through present Guatemala and into Honduras and highland Chiapas). There are many Maya archaeological sites throughout the peninsula; some of the better-known are Chichen Itza, Tulum and Uxmal.[2] Indigenous Maya and Mestizos of partial Maya descent make up a sizable portion of the region's population, and Mayan languages are widely spoken there.
Riviera Maya, also known as the Mayan Riviera, is a tourism district following the coastal Highway 307 which parallels the Caribbean coastline of the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, located on the eastern portion of the Yucatán Peninsula. This district historically started at the city of Playa del Carmen and ended at the village of Tulum, although the towns of Puerto Morelos situated to the north and between Playa del Carmen and Cancun as well as the town of Felipe Carrillo Puerto situated 40 kilometres to the south of Tulum are both currently being promoted as part of the Riviera Maya tourist corridor.

📺 Dinosaur extinction- what killed the dinosaurs?

CMIcreationstation ^{📤 4 years ago 2014-01-06}

A meteorite supposedly hit Mexico, 65 million years ago, causing the extinction of dinosaurs but someone forgot to tell the duck-billed Hadrosaur.

According to research published by the Geological society of America was discovered near the impact site in strata some evolutionists claim are 64 million years old. That's one million years after the meteorite hit.

The idea that dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago has lots of problems but entrenched ideas are hard to dislodge. Dinosaur researcher Dr Mary Schweitzer recently found soft looking blood vessels and red blood cells in bones of T-Rex. She said, "This is not something I ever dreamed I'd see and it was totally shocking." Only the supposed age made it shocking. If something can stay that fresh looking for 65 million years just buried in the ground, then the people who built my refrigerator should hang their heads in shame.

📺 Radiocarbon in dinosaur bones - it shouldn't be there!

CMIcreationstation ^{📤 5 months ago 2017-11-03}

How would our view of dinosaurs change if scientists found carbon 14 in their bones?
Well, a group of geophysicists claimed to have discovered exactly that—carbon 14 in dinosaur bones! This is indeed a shocking proposal for those who believe that the last dinosaurs died out 65 million years ago, because carbon 14 decays so fast that it could not possibly survive that long. There should not be one atom of carbon 14 present in dinosaur bones, if they really are as old as is usually claimed. After going to great lengths to rule out contamination, the researchers concluded that they had indeed found carbon 14 in dinosaur bone.
These results seriously undermine the evolutionary story of long ages of earth history. However, they fit nicely with Biblical history, whereby dinosaurs lived only thousands of years ago, with their fossils forming from animals buried during Noah’s Flood.

📺 Catastrophe - Episode 4 - Asteroid Impact

Every other Wednesday we present a new video, so join us to see the truth laid bare...

This spectacular five-part documentary series, presented by Tony Robinson, investigates the history of natural disasters, from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe.

99% of all the creatures that have ever lived, no longer exist. They were wiped-out in a series of global catastrophes. Each disaster changed the course of evolution on earth. Without them mankind, nor any of the life we see around us, would be here today. For out of catastrophe comes rebirth. Evolution is a savage, imperfect and violent process. It's survive or perish. The earth's history of catastrophes has both moulded the planet and determined evolution. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.

Episode 4 - Asteroid Impact

Dinosaurs rose up as rulers of Earth around 230 million years ago, eventually dominating all other species and relegating mammals to the shadows. But 65 million years ago their planet was rocked by yet another massive event when, seemingly out of nowhere, the mighty dinosaurs were wiped off the face of Earth. But without this devastating catastrophe, humans would not be here today.

This film explores the trail of clues that lead to what extinguished the dinosaurs and ultimately led to the evolution of humans. Cutting-edge scientists, palaeontologists and geologists investigate what could be responsible, and chart the story behind the widely held theory that Earth was hit once again by a deadly asteroid.

📺 What is an Impact Event?

red Orbit ^{📤 5 years ago 2013-03-13}

Hi, my name is Emerald Robinson, and in this "What is" video, we're going to discuss the collision of two objects from outer space, known as an "Impact Event."

An "Impact event," refers to what happens when any two celestial objects hit each other. Most of the time, though, we use the term to describe what happens when a comet, meteor, or asteroid hits the earth or the moon. Astronomers call this group of objects that cause impact events "bolides."

When bolides enter the earth's atmosphere, they do so at high rates of speed, between 25 and 160 thousand miles per hour. Most bolides disintegrate, burning up as they move through the earth's atmosphere.

If a bolide makes it through the atmosphere and strikes the earth, it does so with an enormous force, one equal to thousands of tons of dynamite. This force causes a depression called an impact crater.

Although impact events may seem to be the stuff of science fiction, bolides with diameters smaller than 13 feet actually hit the earth about once a year. We just don't always hear about them because so much of the earth's surface is covered with uninhabited land or open ocean.

Some impact events have had major consequences for the earth. One of the most well-known is the "cretaceous-paleogene" event, which occurred about 65 million years ago. During this event, scientists think a meteor about 6 miles across struck the earth on Mexico's Yucatan peninsula, forming the 110 mile wide Chicxulub impact crater, and causing the extinction of about 75% of animal and plant life, including most of the dinosaurs.

While we don't know for sure if there will be another major impact event, scientists at NASA use a system called "Sentry" to monitor known celestial objects and calculate the likelihood of every potential impact event.
