The End of the Dinosaurs
The End of the DinosaursPosted by : Eduardo de Freitas in Geography
The fall of a meteorite on Earth at the speed of 72,000 km / h , would have been the main cause of the extinction of large reptiles ( dinosaurs ) .
Dinosaurs were large animals that inhabited the planet for millions of years , according to paleontologists , the appearance of these animals would have begun approximately 220 million years , dominating the earth throughout the Mesozoic Era .
There were dinosaurs of different sizes , but the majority was huge and weighed tons , had one based on meat , fruits , plants and insect diet. Because of the size, found it difficult to
There are approximately 65 million years ago the dinosaurs disappeared from Earth , this extinction has always been one of the most intriguing puzzles of the planet . A group of scientists began to unravel this " puzzle " searching for rocks derived from the end of the mesozoic , from this analysis consisted in this period that a huge meteor collided with the Earth's surface . According to them , this meteor possessed a size that ranged between 6 and 14 km, reaching the Earth at an incredible speed of 72,000 km / h , creating a crater 200 km in diameter , located in the Yucatan Peninsula , the Gulf of Mexico (Mexico ) .
Due to the collision the planet suffered major disasters , the main one was an immense cloud of dust that rose up the atmosphere , preventing the entry of sunlight on Earth's surface . The lack of light generated sudden drops in temperature , in addition, plants died actually caused by the impossibility of implementing the process of photosynthesis. Animals that depended on these plants for food died of hunger and cold and also compromised the animals feeding herbivore with this event the whole food chain has been compromised and caused a real environmental collapse . This information gives foundation for the main theory about the end of the dinosaurs , since this is the most accepted in academic circles , but not the only explanation for such termination .
Some scientists believe that the extinction of the great reptiles did not happen with the fall of the meteor , but by gradual climate changes that happened in that period . Others claim that the cause of the end of the dinosaurs would not have been just a meteor , but the decline of many of them . Although there are several explanations , hypotheses and theories , it is not possible to say with precision what actually caused the extinction of these huge animals on Earth .
