The Chicxulub impact, for example, caused a shift in climate on a much smaller timescale of less than 25 years. But it was so extreme that it triggered the extinction of the dinosaurs.

Volcanic activity in India altered the climate but didn't kill the dinosaurs; the Chicxulub meteorite did, by triggering an ...

For many, the matter is settled – and there’s a huge crater down in Mexico to act as evidence. However, a minority of experts ...

The scientists therefore conclude that the meteorite impact was the ultimate cause of the dinosaur extinction event. What ...

Modern research concludes that the Chicxulub meteorite, rather than volcanic eruptions in India, is primarily responsible for ...

“We found that the impact of an asteroid like the one at Chicxulub is an infrequent and unique event in geological time,” said Professor Dr Carsten Münker, co-author of the study. “The fate ...

But climate researchers at Utrecht University have now ruled out this scenario, finding that while the roughly contemporaneous volcanoes had a measurable impact on the climate, those impacts were ...

"But these events happened millennia before the meteorite impact and probably played only a small part in the extinction of ...
