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:
Caucasus Mountains separates Europe from SouthWest Asia.
Explanation:
Caucasus is mountain range that streches between Blask Sea and Caspian Sea in west-east direction. This range is politically located in parts of Russia, Georgia, Azerbaijan and Armenia. It's highest point is Elbrus (5,642 m).
Caucasus is natural border between Asia and Europe. To the west border between mentioned continents runs over <em>Black Sea</em>, and in the opposite direction, over <em>Caspian Sea</em>.
Further to the west Europe and Asia are divided by <em>Bosphorus</em>, <em>Sea of Marmara</em> and <em>Dardanelles</em>.
Atmospheric gasses that absorb infrared radiation
Longshore current move parallel to the shore as longshore drift under the prevailing wind in zig-zag motion.
It is an ocean current that is cause by swell sweeping into the shoreline at an angle and pushing water down the length of beach in a uniform direction.
It is a geological also process that consist of the transportation of sediments such as silt,clay,sand and shingle.
