Question

The cretaceous-paleogene was a mass extinction event in which nearly every single large, land-dwelling dinosaur went extinct. WHich of the following did not result from this extinction event?
.Diverse species of animals began to evolve
.Meteorites struck the region that Mexico now occupies
.Clouds of dust and gas billowed into Earths atmosphere
.Ecological niches were empty but with the potential to be filled

Answer 1

The correct answer is Meteorites struck the region that Mexico now occupies.

The Cretaceous–Paleogene was a sudden mass extinction that took place approximately 66 million years ago. This event killed almost three quarter of the plants and animals species on earth. Almost all the animals were killed in this event weighing more than 25 kilograms. It was caused because of the impact of the comet and asteroid which destructed the global environment. Iridium was found in large amount in earth's crust, which is not a component of earth's crust. It is found in asteroids in huge amount.

Hence, when meteorites were not involved in the process then how come the meteorites get stuck in the region that now occupied as Mexico.

Answer 2
