Volcanic Eruptions Excluded as Cause of Dinosaur Extinction, Study Finds

Credited from: INDIATIMES

  • Scientists from Utrecht University and the University of Manchester have determined that volcanic eruptions did not directly contribute to the extinction of dinosaurs.
  • Previous beliefs linked massive volcanic eruptions in India to the extinction, which occurred around 66 million years ago.
  • New research published in Science Advances indicates that while volcanic activity impacted climate, its effects faded thousands of years before the meteorite struck.
  • The Chicxulub meteorite impact is now identified as the primary cause, leading to disasters like wildfires and an “impact winter.”
  • Fossil analysis revealed that temperatures stabilized 20,000 years before the meteor impact, dismissing prolonged climatic effects from the eruptions.
