More details are required to answer the question.

The K-t boundary or the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary signifies the beginning of the Tertiary and the end of the Cretaceous; sixty-five million years ago. The boundary can be observed in various locations across the globe and is a relatively thin layer of dust sediments with an abnormally high amount of iridium.
Iridium is a rare earth element and is only found in large amounts in asteroids. This knowledge led scientists to conclude that the debris deposited was caused by a massive asteroid impact.
The impact crater was eventually located and was found just of the coast of the Yucatan peninsula. The asteroid was over ten miles in diameter and this impact was thought to be instrumental in the extinction of the dinosaurs.

FrozenT [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

There are different mechanisms for transport of molecules across the cell membrane. One kind of this transport is facilitated diffusion, this is a form of passive transport, not requiring any ATP (the opposite would be active transport, where it does require ATP.

Inga [223]

Answer:

October 17, 2019

The Moon, otherwise known as Luna, is the only natural satellite of Earth. It was created 4.6 billion years ago, and it is widely accepted that it was created when Earth collided with a planet-sized object called Theia. It’s the fifth-largest moon in our solar system and is the second brightest object in the sky (after the Sun).

Explanation:

History of The Moon

Called Luna by the Romans, Selene and Artemis by the Greeks, and many other names in other mythologies.

The Moon, of course, has been known since prehistoric times. It is the second brightest object in the sky after the Sun. As the Moon orbits around the Earth once per month, the angle between the Earth, the Moon and the Sun changes; we see this as the cycle of the Moon’s phases. The time between successive new moons is 29.5 days (709 hours), slightly different from the Moon’s orbital period (measured against the stars) since the Earth moves a significant distance in its orbit around the Sun in that time.
