Explanation:
The K-Pg boundary is the boundary that separates two periods, but also two eras. The two periods that are separated by this boundary are the Cretaceous and the Tertiary, while the two eras are the Mesozoic and the Cenozoic. The boundary is marked by a mass extinction, and the scientists started to hypothesize as to why it happened. There were numerous different theories, but a clue in Mexico, or rather right next to the Yucatan Peninsula, shed new light on it. The scientists found an impact crater, formed either by a large asteroid or a comet. Such an impact would have easily caused sudden and drastic changes on the Earth, killing of the majority of the species. This impact released such a big amount of energy that it killed everything in the surrounding area in seconds. On top of that, it caused an extremely hot wave of air across the whole planet, killing many more organisms. It managed to trigger most of the volcanoes to erupt, as well as the earthquakes, causing also very large tsunamis. The sunlight got blocked for quite some time from all the aerosols in the atmosphere as well. This resulted in a mass extinction of the dominant species, like the dinosaurs, but it opened up the terrain for the evolution of the others, like the mammals.
Nowadays, Latin America is on the spot light for International business. Several Latin American countries are becoming better off. Countries such as, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, Colombia and Peru are characterized by an economic boom, financial stability, trade liberalization, demographic shifts, and an expanding middle class society. Although poverty and inequality still prevail in the region, some of these countries are evolving and are no longer fundamentally poor. Better economic conditions, a huge market and an increasing talented labor force are presenting Latin America to the world as a land rich of business opportunities. In the past 4-5 years due to the European crisis and the slowdown of growth in The United States, several Latin American countries have become recipients of increasing Foreign Direct Investment. Not only that, but also, successful corporations in the region, known as Multilatinas, have expanded to other countries in the region and abroad. Time has arrived to understand better how to do business in the region and to identify how different this task could be, depending on the country.
