Asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs was as powerful as 10 billion atomic bombs, new research finds.
Scientists have found hard evidence in massive chunks of rocks that the asteroid that doomed the dinosaurs was powerful enough to trigger wildfires, tsunamis and blast so much dust into the atmosphere that it blocked out the sun -- and they estimate the impact was as powerful as 10 billion atomic bombs of the same sized used in World War II.
"We fried them and then we froze them," Sean Gulick, a research professor at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics , said in a statement announcing their findings."Not all the dinosaurs died that day, but many dinosaurs did." "It's an expanded record of events that we were able to recover from within ground zero,” Gulick added."It tells us about impact processes from an eyewitness location."
