Not a meteorite, what's really killing dinosaurs?

People still think meteorites are things that kill dinosaurs. But really, what caused it was another factor.

As usual, we still believe that the giant meteorite that fell to Earth millions of years ago was the cause of the dinosaurs extinction. However, that is only part of the story.

That meteorite also caused a significant reduction in dinosaur numbers, but not the main reason. What happens to the atmosphere and global climate then causes this giant group of organisms to enter the door.

Meteors are not the main cause.

However, how this process takes place, the human race has never grasped it. And recently, research conducted by the Potsdam Institute (Germany) has helped us answer this question.

Specifically, Dr. Julia Brugger, research director, has used some climate simulation devices to reflect the consequences of meteorites, including forest fires, volcanic eruptions . and numerous matter is released into the atmosphere.

Simulation of research.

Brugger concluded that sulfur (sulphate) is released into the atmosphere after the meteorite falls, which kills most dinosaurs . Whereas other chemicals follow the precipitation, the sulfur tends to condense, forming a barrier that prevents the sun from shining.

This process has caused global temperatures to drop."The weather gets cold, I mean extremely cold" - Brugger shared. On average, the global temperature has dropped to 26 degrees Celsius, so that the tropical region is just around the freezing temperature for 3 years.

What happens after that is the cause of dinosaurs extinction.

The co-chair, Dr. Georg Feulner, co-researched: "The process of hypothermia lasts because sulfur is mainly responsible for the great genocide. Its impact is greater than the great disasters like volcanic eruptions, forest fires. or tsunami ".

Not yet! The sudden drop in temperature also changes the water flow. Surface temperature drops, all nutrients sink to the bottom. After 3 years when the sun returned, the warm temperature combined with the nutrients would cause toxic algae to explode - like today's red tide phenomenon. Of course, the remaining dinosaurs in the sea also have no way to survive.

Brugger said the data show that it takes more than 30 years for the Earth environment to return to normal. Sudden changes have caused most organisms, including animals. Only a few animals overcome this crisis, and they really deserve to be respected.
