Meteors are not enough to destroy life on Earth

According to new research by American scientists, a large meteorite will not be able to destroy life on earth as previously imagined.

Previously, many experts have said that planets, small meteorites "bombing" the Earth have caused the Earth's crust to melt and make life on the planet "evaporate".

However, a team at the University of Colorado, USA, performed simulations, reconstructed three-dimensional images, and came to the conclusion that the Earth's crust and the bacteria that live on it could survive and transmit. Develop in extreme conditions.

Life on earth has not been eradicated by collisions with meteors.


To study this process, Abramov and his colleagues used data from moon rock, meteorite and earth samples on the surface of 'neighbor' planets to simulate collisions in 3D environments. .

They then studied the effect of this process on Earth temperature in the area of ​​life. The results reinforce the belief that life is safe from meteorites that hit Earth. He added that hydrothermal vents below the Earth's surface are the safest place for thermophilic bacteria. It could be likened to 'the incubator for life,' Abramov said.
