Mass Extinctions May Have Been Caused By Meteors

Biology
2 answers:
snow_lady [41]3 years ago
6 0

Past mass extinctions were caused by extreme temperature changes, rising or falling sea levels and catastrophic, one-off events like a huge volcano erupting or an asteroid hitting Earth. We know about them because we can see how life has changed in the fossil record.

Answer:

Yes, Mass Extinctions May Have Been Caused By Meteors, as the probability of mass extinction occurring after an asteroid that could hit a random location on the Earth's surface was approximately 13% when the Chicxulub-scale asteroid hit the Earth. 

Soot could be the main cause of mass extinction after an asteroid impact.

Is ductility considered as a physical property or a chemical property
Elena L [17]

Ductility is a physical property.

A physical property of a material is a property that can be measured or observed without changing the composition of the material.

In this case ductility is a physical property. It is defined as the  property of a material associated with the ability to be drawn or stretched into a wire without breaking. The chemical identity of the material is not affected, that is  it does not change.

Example of ductile materials include gold, silver, copper, erbium, terbium and samarium.

Other examples of physical properties are:

1. Solubility

2. Melting point.

3. Boiling point.

4. Color

5. Density.
