Infact the meteor only had a 13% chance to hit the earth and make ash and soot fly into the air

The meteorite was probably 1<span>0 to 15 km (6.2 to 9.3 mi) wide</span> and affected the entire planet through a proces called "impact winter". As the name suggests, an impact winter is a period of low temperature produced by a huge cloud of ash and dust that blocks sunlight. Since sunlight is essential for plants to survive, if the sun rays are blocked by this cloud, all animals that depend on those plants (including dinosaurs) will die. The meteorite could have created such a cloud upon hitting the earth.

How are convection current in the mantle and in the oceans similar? How are they different?
Vanyuwa [196]

Hello,


Convection currents in the mantle and in the ocean are similar because they both are responsible for the shaping the Earth's surface. Two forces are behind the movement of Earth's huge land masses. Those forces are convection and gravity.


Convection describes the movement of gasses or liquids due to different temperatures. The convection currents just beneath Earth's crust flow very slowly, causing movement in the plates above them. These currents are different with the fact that they produce different plate movements. Ridge push occurs from the convection currents in the ocean. These occur at mid-ocean ridges, which are elevated higher than the rest of the ocean floor. In contrary, convection causes material in the mantle to flow. Due to combined action of convection currents and gravity, Earth's plates are in constant motion.

Explain the relationship between mutations, adaptations, natural selection, and extinctio
vladimir1956 [14]
Mutations are like genetic mutations. Say a bird species may usually have a orange beak but one bird was born with blue, that’s a mutation.
Adaptations are things you adapt to like plant species have adapted over the year to receive less and less water to live.
Natural selection is basically ‘killing off’ the weaker ones. Say a bird species has broad wings but mutations happened over time leading them to have small wings that do not allow flight, they may eventually all die off due to that. Extinction is if al those birds were to die off from that mutation.
