Answer:
They found evidence of an impact crater in Mexico
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.
Answer:
Short Answer: Uplift and Erosion activities
Explanation:
Let's understand this briefly,
Name/Type - Grand Canyon (deep gorge)
Location - Northern Arizona (USA)
Formation - About 6 millions years ago
How - When the river (Colorado) started to cut channels through layers of sedimentary rocks
Formation Process - Weathering and Erosion
Forces which acted - Wind, Precipitation, Streams and snowmelt
Depth - 1830 m
According to question,
It is formed due to tectonic uplift in the region and due to vast erosion activities affected by enormous number of factors.
Mexico is directly south of the United States
Answer:
True
Explanation:
Deep space telescopes are fitted with the faint object cameras, that are way better than ground-based spectroscopically functioning telescopes. The Subaru telescope at Hawaii observed the faintest object ever from a ground-based telescope. But when compared to other deep-space telescopes like Hubble's deep space telescopes it's very small. They have reached up to a magnitude of 31 , which observes 20 times fainter objects .
