Asteroid-sized 9.6 KM hit Earth, wiping out the dinosaurs and 70% other species. About 65 million years ago, about 9.6 kilometers and medium-sized asteroid hit the Earth and destroy the dinosaurs, as well as more than 70 percent of other species of living beings. (starryskies.com)

VIVAnews -what would happen if a giant asteroid is not hit our planet and destroy the dinosaurs? This question is clear since a long time and now have started with the appearance of the answer.

As you know, there are many factors cause of musnahnya dinosaur from the surface of the Earth. However, echo the death knell for the largest animal ever to life was the arrival of medium-sized asteroid approximately 9.6 kilometers.

A giant asteroid were to fall into the area that became the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, approximately 65 million years ago. As a result of the collision of the asteroid with the Earth, in the region there are gaping holes now known as Chicxulub crater measuring width of more than 180 kilometers.

Shortly after the asteroid struck the Earth by mega-tsunami, fires that spread to the entire planet, as well as throwing dust and particles that are very much in the sky, which resulted in the tertutupnya of the Sun for several years and caused global cooling caused musnahnya dinosaurs and more than 70 percent of the other species of living beings.

"If the Meteor that does not hit the Earth, and the assumption that no other instances of weapons of mass destruction, life on this planet is probably still ruled by dinosaurs, as well as 160 million years before the musnahnya animals," said Damian the Nance, Professor of geoscience of Ohio University, as cited from life's Little Mysteries, May 14, 2011.

Nance mentions, if dinosaurs are not extinct, primates like us probably will not live. Mammals could only breed along with the breeding of dinoasaurus. However, they only occupy a particular ecological zones, and generally narrow more or less only for rats currently grows.

"Mammals can be displayed and breeding expanded after the plant-eating dinosaur that finally the destroyed dinosaur carnivore makes lost a source of food," said Nance.

The researchers speculated, the smart is also likely to dinosauroid together with humans evolved. Speculation is based on the relatively large size of the brain of the species trodontid, later, it is found that is a similar bird predators.

As you know, the dinosaur who managed to survive in the present, with a bird, it's pretty smart. But not smart enough to remain the master of life on Earth.

14/05/2011 so great. ... All life is definitely the beginning and end. because all that is written in AL-LAWH AL MAHFUDZ, I think that if there are no asteroids hitting the Earth, perhaps in life now there will be no such thing as petroleum, natural gas, iron etc.
