A team of researchers has managed to run 3D models from the moment that the comet hit the surface of the Earth, until the 110-mile wide crater was fully formed. supercomputer, Bookmark Econotimes And yet a straight-down hit would have been a preferable scenario for dinosaurs: the angle now diagnosed by the scientists constituted "the worse-case scenario for the lethality of the impact", they wrote, because it maximized the ejection of rock and therefore, the production of gases.The researchers carried out almost 300 3D simulations before they were able to reach their conclusions, which was processed by the HPE Apollo 6000 Gen10 supercomputer located at the University of Leicester. The rest is history: firestorms, hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes rocked the planet, and most species disappeared from the surface of the Earth.The development of Chicxulub at a 60-degree impact, depicting the deformation in the crust (mid-grey) and upper mantle (dark grey).It was originally thought that the asteroid hit Chicxulub at a 90-degree angle – but near-vertical impact is "unlikely", says the research paper. in You also agree to the lot

Some 66 million years ago, an asteroid hit the Earth on the eastern coast of modern Mexico, resulting in up to three-quarters of plant and animal species living on the planet going extinct – including the dinosaurs. The rest is history: firestorms, hurricanes, tsunamis and earthquakes rocked the planet, and most species disappeared from the surface of the Earth.The development of Chicxulub at a 60-degree impact, depicting the deformation in the crust (mid-grey) and upper mantle (dark grey).It was originally thought that the asteroid hit Chicxulub at a 90-degree angle – but near-vertical impact is "unlikely", says the research paper. Such models focus on how the Chicxulub crater grew in the immediate aftermath of the hit, and on the instantaneous expulsion of gas and dust.
