Morning Dinos!
Here’s something to chew on today..
Everyone thinks an asteroid HIT Earth killing all the dinosaurs..
..news flash: that’s not really how they died.
Because 66 million years ago we’ve got a rock THE SIZE OF MOUNT EVEREST hurling toward Earth:
It SLAMS into the Yucatan Peninsula
Creating this:
The Chicxulub Crater.
Now, bit of a bad luck spot to hit!
Because there’s allllll this limestone, sulfur, and oil
Which INSTANTLY vaporizes
Launching trillions of tons of molten rock into the sky
Ya lol true story.
The air around Earth starts BURNING.
It’s 500 degrees.
So any animal that wasn’t underground or underwater…
Boiled alive!
Stay Queasy,
Henry & Dylan 🌈
