Eldorado Posted April 2, 2021 #1 Share Posted April 2, 2021 The asteroid impact that killed off the dinosaurs gave birth to our planet's tropical rainforests, a study suggests. Researchers used fossil pollen and leaves from Colombia to investigate how the impact changed South American tropical forests. After the 1km-wide space rock struck Earth 66 million years ago, the type of vegetation that made up these forests changed drastically. The team has outlined its findings in the prestigious journal Science. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-56617409 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In that case, it would have been better if asteroid had never hit Earth! Kardashians would never exist. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
