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

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 ...

Asteroid impact during that time was frequent, and one such impact was from a meteorite dubbed S2. This impact was far greater than Chicxulub, which ended the age of the dinosaurs. The S2 meteorite, ...

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

Massive volcanic eruptions did not cause the extinction of dinosaurs, according to a new study. Volcanoes on the Indian ...

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 ...

The scientists therefore conclude that the meteorite impact was the ultimate cause of the dinosaur extinction event. What killed off the dinosaurs—was it the Chicxulub meteorite or did the ...

With the effects of volcanism practically ruled out, this would leave the Chicxulub meteorite impact as the primary cause of the dinosaur mass extinction. "By comparison, the impact from the ...

With the effects of volcanism practically ruled out, Dr. Rhodri Jerrett says that would leave the Chicxulub meteorite impact as the primary cause of the dinosaur mass extinction. Dr. Jerrett ...

Photograph by Robert Clark Roughly 30 miles to the east of this mangrove swamp sits Chicxulub Puerto, a calm seaside village at the center of an immense impact crater that stretches into the Gulf ...

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