Besides the earthquake, there was also a literal rain of fire across the planet, like a blast furnace, that likely killed everything that wasn't underground or underwater.
Comment on Can I make a volcano?
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 year agoWow!
This region is thought to have been the site of extremely powerful volcanic activity in the past, so powerful that it caused mile-deep lava over an area as large as the state of California.
By Richards’ estimate, the asteroid impact must have generated the equivalent of a magnitude 9 or larger earthquake everywhere on Earth
Mind-blowing stuff! Thanks for sharing!
