☄️ Meteors aren't the only reason for extinction. Is it true?
☄️ Meteors are not the only reason for extinction.
Is it true?
When it comes to the extinction of dinosaurs,
The first picture that many people think of is
A giant meteorite hit Earth.
Which... is true.
But the scientific truth says
Meteors may not be the only reason.
☄️ Meteor: The detonator, not the whole thing.
About 66 million years ago,
A gigantic meteor fell in what is now Mexico.
The impact is
• Huge explosive force
• Dust covers the atmosphere
• Reduced sunshine
• Severe global temperature variations
This quickly caused the food chain to collapse.
And the accelerator of mass extinction.
But... that may not be the beginning.
🌋 Earth began to warp before the meteorite.
Before the meteorite falls,
The world already has danger signs.
Scientists found that
At a similar time.
A massive volcanic eruption occurred.
An area called Deccan Traps (India).
The explosion lasted hundreds of thousands of years.
Release a lot of gas.
Make
• Temperature fluctuations
• The ocean is acidic.
• Organisms begin to adapt.
The world is no longer in a normal state.
Before the meteorite arrives,
🌍 The ecosystem is getting weak.
Fossil evidence shows
Before the mass extinction,
Diversity of organisms
Started to decline in some groups.
That means
Ecosystems may
• fragile
• Tense
• Close to the critical point
The meteorite could therefore be
The last straw.
More than destruction from scratch.
🦖 So why do some species survive?
If a meteor destroys everything,
Why "bird"?
Which is a group of dinosaurs.
To survive?
The answer is
• Small
• Eat a variety of foods
• Adapt quickly
• Low power consumption
They survived a broken world.
Not because it's stronger.
But because it's more flexible.
🧠 Brief summary
The meteorite is
• Accelerator
• Closer
But it's not.
The only cause
The extinction of dinosaurs
Is the result of
• A long-changing world
• Systems that start to become unbalanced
• And simultaneous violent events
🧠 Lessons from extinction
Nature teaches us that
No one fell for one reason.
The Great Fall
Often caused by
Cumulative problem + impact event
✨. End of chapter.
If dinosaurs didn't lose because of meteors alone,
It means...
Human survival
Well, maybe not up to a single disaster either.
