The Cretaceous - Tertiary boundary can be easily observed in the rock layers. The geological signature is a thin band of rock. The thin band of rock is easily distinguishable from the other layers as it also has much darker color. The amount of carbon in this layer is much higher, and there is also zirconium, which usually is not found on Earth as it is extremely rare. The reasons to why this boundary has formed are the asteroid impact and the immense volcanic activity that it triggered.

NARA [144]

Answer:

Israel was created by the United Nations in the territory of Palestine, which is the ancient homeland of the Jewish People. Ever since its formation in 1947, Jewish People from other areas of the world, mainly from Europe, moved to the new country.
