Know theories behind dinosaurs extinction

According to reports published in ‘Scientific Reports’, it is believed that  the extinction of dinosaurs was caused because of the ejecting soot coming out of the rocks which absorbs strong light aerosol from asteroid crash.

The latest study revealed that the shoot slammed earth resulting to 180Km big hole which resulted in the dinosaurs' extinction.
According to Tohuku University’s professor, KunioKaiho and his team has made analysis on sedimentary organic molecules from the place  near to the collision, and also away from it. The flaming organic molecule of places near to it and away from it found similar results showing high energy level. Its also believed that result similarity can explain the whole idea of extinction and life on earth

The earlier study reports manifests that the atmosphere which is contaminated with asteroid and presence of dust particle blocked the sun. Meanwhile, the researchers also said that it was not attainable for the asteroid to operate the extinction all alone but the only explanation they had proved it to be right then.

Also, researchers from Tohuku University and Japan Meteorological Agency suggested about the impact of asteroid was possible due to tremendous spread amount of soot when it hit the oil-rich region of Yucatan. It was the soot which caused  extend period of gloaming and resulted to cold climates at mid-high latitudes and dry period with mild coolness at low latitudes on the earth surface

In the first two years of impact, there was excess release of photosynthesis in the oceans resulting to cooling down of oceans water surface. The continous dark years with very low temperature resulted to loss of marine beast and land.
