Cekricek.id – Dinosaurs are legendary ancient animals. These large animals are so ingrained in modern day stories. Although no human has ever seen how dinosaurs lived.
Experts conclude that the extinction of the dinosaurs occurred 66 million years ago. At that time, there were many asteroids hitting the earth. The impact of large celestial bodies has caused large earthquakes to occur on earth for months.
So that all kinds of living beings existing on earth at that time died and became extinct.
“An asteroid about 10 kilometers in diameter struck Earth near the Yucatan Peninsula, plunging the planet into darkness and causing a mass extinction that wiped out 80% of animal life, including all non-dinosaurs. aviaries, “said geologists from Montclair State University in New York. Jersey, Hermann Bermúdez, quoted by Live science, Tuesday (10/25/2022).
Hermann said the mega quake was marked by marks left on rocks around the Gulf of Mexico.
It also saw nearly identical marks in Colombia, Texas, Alabama and Mississippi in the United States that were deformed and fractured by the earthquake, and some filled with debris left over from the giant tsunami generated by the impact.
10 billion times Hiroshima bomb
According to Hermann, when the asteroid hit Earth about 66 million years ago, it released energy equivalent to 10 billion Hiroshima bombs and left a 110-mile (180 km) wide crater.
That seismic energy was 50,000 times greater than that generated by the devastating 2004 Sumatra earthquake. The impact triggered an earthquake of magnitude greater than 11 by comparison, the most powerful earthquake ever recorded was a magnitude 9.5 in Chile in 1960. This earthquake also triggered a tsunami with waves over a mile high.
The geologist community has called this ongoing asteroid impact event the earthquake and tsunami Chicxulub Collision.
Other evidence found by Bermudez on Gorgonilla Island reveals that Earth’s turbulence at that time lasted long after the initial impact.
The fern spores gradually moved to the sea floor a few weeks after the accident. Thus, according to Herman Bermudez, extinction occurs not only in animals, but also in a wide variety of plants.
Because ferns don’t recover six months to a year after this collision with Chicxulub. The findings suggest that the planet continued to vibrate for months after the asteroid hit it.
Once the situation returns to normal or there are no more tremors, the animals that manage to survive face another problem. They have no more food supplies. So that these ancient animals could only survive a few days before dying and becoming completely extinct.

But of course this has become an omnipotent voice to replace the inhabitants of the earth. You may not have been born on this earth if the Donosaurus and other ancient animals were still alive. Because the size of the dinosaur is so large that it will make human life not normal.
