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, ...

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 ...
