Der Abstieg in die Hölle - Erleben Sie die Apokalypse des Aussterbens der Dinosaurier | DOKUMENTAR

About 66 million years ago, in the Upper Cretaceous, the different species of dinosaurs that populated the planet managed to impose their dominance on the Earth, these enormous animals that, depending on the species, can measure up to several tens of meters long and have different sizes. . , sometimes very threatening and disturbing body shapes, became common, the largest predators known on the blue planet take up a lot of space and become powerful and fearsome animals for anyone who approaches them, their evolution is numerous and incessant, they never stop growing and expand with the times they pass through Dear traveler, good afternoon, today I take you on an extraordinary journey to the time of the giants who populated our planet, more precisely 66 million years ago.

If you haven't already, remember. subscribe and like the video to access the channel support thank you all and have fun watching at this moment the dinosaurs live on a planet with a much warmer and drier climate than the current one the air is heavy and the wind only blows very rarely these species grow in a land where there are no glaciers and stagnant water with very few ocean currents. Cold areas are almost unknown because the heat is very great. The countries are still pretty close to each other at this point. The dry climate spreads throughout the habitable areas, with the high peaks such as In fact, compared to the rest of the world, these places are the only ones that experience small cold periods and with good reason because the altitude allows for little fresh air. these places despite the high temperatures compared to today.

The plant world adapts to this climate and has continued to develop for millions of years in the Late Cretaceous period in which the dinosaurs underwent real changes and gained strong dominance, the flora developed into new plants such as grasses and angiosperms and the land now It is covered with the first species of grasses that look like grasses and cereals such as barley and wheat, but also with angiosperms that are represented by flowering plants, the latter being the ancestors of apple trees and many of today's vegetables. Like leeks, these various plants began to be planted on the surface of the planet and little by little they were incorporated into the diet of animals, especially that of herbivorous dinosaurs.

Forests are formed from large solid oaks that cover a large area. part of the territory. land, they rise over a large part of the earth's surface and create areas of shadow so large that the earth begins to look more and more like the image we currently have, apart from some areas such as France and parts of Spain that are still largely Part under water, these areas covered by the sea were part of the island that the people called the Ibero-American archipelago, which also lived in a tropical climate during this Upper Cretaceous period. The continents continued their slow movements until they reached their current position.

The large family of dinosaurs experienced great changes within the different species that formed them, regardless of whether they were vegetables or carnivores. At this time the earth was boiling with Life, whether in the sky or at the bottom of the sea, various kinds of animals developed. Along with them, mammals and reptiles are included. The latter include mosasaurs, true marine predators that can grow up to 18 meters long. These reptiles are very similar to the elections except for one detail: they are known as fearsome carnivores and have the image of large predators. a little higher in the sky birds begin to appear gradually forming from different flying species and becoming more and more common at this time they are a little different from the birds that live in the will take their place in the future as they can They reach a weight of up to 140 kilograms, they are called garantuarvis while these enormous birds rise very high in the sky and their large shadows cover part of the earth's surface, life on this planet seems to be very peaceful but it really is not like that, most Living beings of this era are preparing for a series of catastrophes that will eventually lead to their final extinction.

As the natural disaster slowly but surely approaches, dinosaurs continue to populate the planet and demonstrate their dominance, which is now firmly established. to expand They are now the largest and strongest animals on planet Earth, but the first stage of mass extinction is approaching without them knowing it. It begins to spread through their ranks without making a sound before the entire dinosaur world is destroyed. Catastrophes that affect the entire planet have not yet occurred, natural selection begins to make its way through the various dinosaurs to reach them little by little. This lesson starts slowly but once it is carried out and becomes evident it continues consistently and even leads to some of them.

Upon extinction, during the Late Cretaceous period, most dinosaurs undergo important changes, sometimes in their body structure but also in their way of life, especially in relation to their food chain. Some of the largest of this species even became cannibals during this time. In addition to attacks on mammals, there are attacks on other species, dinosaurs continue to change and cause new developments. During this time, new dinosaurs appear step by step on the earth's surface. tops producer, a dinosaur that appears most frequently lives on the soil of Mongolia and feeds exclusively on plants, this herbivore appeared in the Upper Cretaceous period but it is not the only one that dominates this era The Velociraptor, a carnivore with a powerful jaw. around 80 extremely sharp teeth, it quickly became the Velociraptor's main prey.

A large predator like Tyrannosaurus, also known as T-Rex, is one of the wildest and most dominant dinosaurs that lived in the Late Cretaceous period. The famous creature is more than impressive as it can grow up to 12 meters long and weigh more than seven tons. It is a real mass of nerves and danger that hangs over the different prey. The Tyrannosaurus is an important part of the landscapes of this time. He does not hesitate to exercise his dominance. It is one of the most respected dinosaurs, especially for its fearsome way of dominating its victims. This enormous creature grabs its victims before crushing them with its large, powerful jaws with long teeth that crush and pierce them. prey, but although they were one of the most represented classes of animals at this time, they also began to go through a somewhat difficult pause in the In fact, the Late Cretaceous period is not exactly a quiet period as it holds many surprises, most of which are not at all positive.

On the contrary, natural selection lurks in secret and prepares to conquer large numbers of dinosaurs by eliminating the weakest; When it comes to major changes in its natural environment, it is a normal and completely natural process that occurs in In fact, it has worked this way for many years so that the Earth can change and renew itself. If a species remains on Earth for many years, it will logically go through several evolutionary stages and develop new animals that are better and stronger. more prepared than the previous generation, this was also the case of the dinosaurs in the Upper Cretaceous period, in this period the dinosaurs began a great diversification that was much greater than we could imagine in a few years they transformed and The dinosaurs changed every day a little more. leading to new developments and even new species.

The large family of dinosaurs is now populated by more dominant and resourceful types that have evolved over the years, but also by dinosaurs that have been around for centuries and do not necessarily have the same characteristics. Like newcomers, it is at this point that natural selection decides to come into play. This natural selection strengthens and becomes more pronounced in the Cretaceous period. The goal is to select species that are capable of coping with different changes. the planet so that the best adapted dinosaurs populate the earth and renew themselves. As there are different types of dinosaurs and they are increasingly differentiated, a selection must be made so that some of them can continue growing, that is not the case.

It is possible that they continue to evolve and share the Earth's surface with other organisms, so natural selection must make this decision. While there were many developments and phenomena within dinosaurs during this era, such as thyrophorans and maginocephalians, these species also saw significant changes. on predators and the environment Thyrophores, for example, is a four-legged dinosaur with spines on its back that serve to form a shell that can withstand many impacts, protecting it from certain enemies. It is also spherical in the shape of a ball. the end of his tail, allowing him to attack and move more easily to defend himself since he always has a weapon at his disposal.

Maginocephalics should not be underestimated either. They are physically the closest to the modern rhinoceros except for. two additional extremely large and sharp horns that sit above its small black eyes. These can also be used as weapons like the tyrophorus for defensive purposes, these changes that demonstrate the strength and adaptability of the dinosaurs are not insignificant because while some of them evolve and transform. , others completely disappear from the surface of the earth, so by not developing new defense mechanisms, they are no longer able to survive and protect themselves. As great as the diversification is in terms of the appearance of dinosaurs, it is also great in terms of the numerous extinctions that were known among dinosaurs during this time, while a large part of the dinosaurs will die during the impending natural disasters, some will die long before natural disasters and will never appear again, while everything seems to be in perfect order with many dinosaurs, a great decline in herbivores is coming, which is completely natural, some time ago new ones appeared on earth plants, especially flowering plants that contain many seeds and can spread so quickly through the ground.

These plants easily find their place in this ecosystem and began to spread throughout the world. They are an aesthetic element on the earth's surface that brightens the landscape, but they are also dangerous for the development of dinosaurs, although it may seem unimaginable at first glance, their appearance is one of the causes of the sudden decline of many species, particularly a certain branch of the food chain. Herbivorous dinosaurs sometimes ate some of these plants, first consciously, trying to transform them into edible food. but then they also accidentally eat them along with other plants, but they fail to fully integrate them into their eating habits, which causes them some inconvenience.

Unfortunately for them, the plants multiplied more and more easily and quickly, covering the ground and. They soon became a central part of the Late Cretaceous ecosystem. They proliferated everywhere on Earth and eventually caused large numbers of herbivorous dinosaurs to collapse because they could no longer eat properly. The destruction of many herbivores also has a significant impact on the rest of the animal world because slowly carnivores are also beginning to die. Although they feed on many different animal species, herbivores are the most commonly attacked prey, some of them are also starting to become cannibals due to lack of food as herbivores are becoming rarer, some carnivorous dinosaurs are also starting to disappear because they can no longer find their main victims as they cannot feed properly, but although dinosaurs are increasingly rare, not all of them.

In fact, some groups survive the different changes. Herbivorous dinosaurs manage to adapt to new plants or survive by feeding on other foods, and some carnivores can also survive thanks to the fact that other animals that serve as prey continue moving across the land. As the decline of the dinosaurs continues, natural selection does not appear to have completed its work yet. Dinosaurs face another test, much sooner than expected, even though the Earth was in decline during the Late Cretaceous period. Warm and dry climate with an average temperature of 25°C, gradually begins to cool, this is because plants consume CO2, a powerful greenhouse gas, with the increasing explosion of new As plants conquer the surface On Earth, the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere decreases rapidly, the heat gradually spreads and makes room for colder air, which is less comfortable for dinosaurs, whereas before they moved in the heat.

They now face rapid warming. The drop in temperature doesn't seem to be right for them and they can't do anything about it. The atmosphere continues to cool and now reaches seven degrees, which is a huge drop in temperature compared to what the animals were used to. For centuries, dinosaurs,Plants and carnivores, which were used to living in a much warmer climate, are now beginning to suffer the consequences of the new climate. The sudden drop in temperature does not mean that all dinosaurs will survive, on the contrary, it allows greater survival. natural selection Dinosaurs need a dry and warm climate to maintain their body temperature because the remaining dinosaurs can no longer achieve this, their basic metabolism is no longer capable of performing certain tasks for which they are normally designed, most of their metabolic activities decrease, which has serious consequences for these colossi of life and puts them in real danger, although dinosaurs are considered dangerous.

The animals are represented as reminiscent of the largest predators that planet Earth has ever hosted, in reality they are becoming increasingly weaker, this is probably due to environmental causes that disturbed their development and physical needs until several of them They eventually became extinct, the plant and carnivorous dinosaurs combined. So they are in decline but while the dinosaurs have to fight with many difficulties, the planet inside them also prepares to fight. against certain events that could be catastrophic for all involved. When the Late Cretaceous period came to an end, the dinosaurs were already affected by the various causes of natural selection, but also by the numerous environmental changes on the earth's surface, as is the case with most living beings.

It is not easy for large dominant animals to deal with such abrupt and rapid changes, but they do not yet seem to have reached the end of their surprises as a new catastrophe unfolds. Nature is about to play another trick on the majestic predators. that are already in decline, with dramatic consequences without any animal expecting it, the earth begins to rumble in its core, threatening and hidden from everyone, something is brewing but the more this new catastrophe becomes evident, the more devastating and tragic it seems. be the danger. be it brings with it like the recent changes in the ecosystem suddenly when everything seems to be at least peaceful and calm the earth begins to rumble it rumbles much louder than thunder and everything you can imagine the noise is deafening and makes you the entire animal world on earth, unrest spreads among them.

They quickly begin to search for the source of this noise. The entire animal world is on high alert, but they cannot understand what is happening. There are no indications of where the catastrophe could occur. , but catastrophe will befall them all in just a few seconds. The mammals will fear the incessant noise of the earth and will hide in their caves. Dinosaurs, on the other hand, have no chance of escaping; On the contrary, yes. They are too big to be able to hide anywhere and are therefore completely helpless and unable to do anything about it. They have no choice but to face what will happen in a few seconds.

Suddenly, the earth will continue to rumble unbearably. -deafening noise As the planet continues to thunder, volcanoes begin to tremble, causing the Earth's surface to vibrate even more. The earth is shaken by violent vibrations that no longer give it stability. At this very moment, the eruptions begin one after another. the other, with an indescribable noise and alarming violence, is unleashed in nature and no animal species is capable of slowing or stopping it. On the contrary, the animal world and also the plant world have to accept the damage. They try to sneak into the vegetation for protection, but not even the vegetation is able to cope with what is about to hit them all and is therefore completely incapable of providing a protective barrier for the animals.

The first changes in the ecosystem had already occurred. complicated in the previous period but that was nothing compared to what was before them now. It is impossible for them to escape, hide in a safe place or protect themselves from the avalanche heading towards them, so they remain on the surface of the earth and try to survive as best they can facing the hurricane of natural disasters that are bearing down on them. . The entire animal and plant world bursts in. Volcanic eruptions are becoming more and more violent. They are first produced in the Indian area and. Then they continue unstoppable on the surface of the earth.

It is not just a single volcano that implodes at this moment, but an entire chain of eruptions that are a deafening noise that bursts onto the surface of the planet, no one can stop the wrath of the planet. , which seems to want to go on and on, but a series of volcanic eruptions are not only characterized by earthquakes and incessant roar, but also bring with them numerous catastrophes, one of which is impressive and... is more dangerous than the Other flows Lava spills over the entire planet and researchers later call them shell traps. They have dramatic consequences for the animal and plant world, because no part of the Earth is safe at the moment: the ground is covered in hot, shiny, deadly lava. fire that spread rapidly in some places it is impossible to walk on the ground in peace as the heat continues to increase the temperature on the planet soon followed the same pattern in a few hours the earth's climate changes radically depending on the natural disaster that is occurring What happens on the surface brings about change that is abrupt and causes problems for many animals.

When the lava spills over the ground and covers the different places, the temperature rises inexorably, higher and higher, the change is radical and even the air seems. having become an element other than hot, nothing remains intact, everything has changed completely in an instant, just a few seconds were enough to completely transform the planet, however, it is the emission of carbon dioxide into the air that triggers the enormous global warming that remains out of control. The more the earth rumbles, the more carbon dioxide is released into the air, raising temperatures to unbearable heights even for dinosaurs who normally prefer tropical climates where they can keep their bodies at a good temperature.

The earth continues to rumble with volcanic discharges as much as it can. absorb them and the planet burns every hour. After this moment, for many animals nothing will be the same as before. While dinosaurs had already lost some of their colleagues due to changes in biodiversity, this new natural catastrophe is. taking with them more and reducing again the various existing species the dinosaurs then experience a catastrophic and rapid decline suddenly in an instant peace seems to return to the surface of the earth the planet no longer makes any noise the noise has ceased and the earth is silent although volcanoes will continue for hundreds of thousands of years before going back to sleep the worst is over the earth is still hot and dangerous but it is silent animals, including dinosaurs, do not make any move to move out of fear The series of violent volcanic eruptions has really ended, that is good news, but in reality it has caused so much damage to both the Earth and the animals and the oceans, so The balance is catastrophic.

Volcanic eruptions have caused a real decrease in the sea, which retreats below its known limits and leaves many species without habitat and out of their habitat, because the sea, which has suffered numerous severe blows from lava leaks and earthquakes, is severely weakened for many marine animals. They died in this natural disaster because they could no longer move they were able to develop their natural habitat like other species on the surface the surface of the planet is unrecognizable one part is burned and completely blackened even for those who manage to adapt to the changes The enormous changes are very difficult to face.

Some dinosaurs did not survive this and many species gradually became extinct. These animals are severely affected by the events, but as if that were not enough, the Earth faces more drastic changes after such a catastrophe. It is impossible for the climate to return to normal in the shortest time, a lot of rest and reconstruction is needed to regain health. The planet has suffered a very big shock and this has left many marks on its surface, so the various repairs will take thousands of years. Still, some of the changes that will now occur will affect the species that are still alive on the planet's surface and continue to weaken while the large predators that dinosaurs are known to dominate the world for the moment are no longer. the great rulers of the planet but environmental changes leading to constant changes in the biosphere and reshaping the face of the world are the remaining dinosaurs forced to adapt or die when they are no longer strong enough to survive many species are left completely devastated but the changes radicals have only just begun and will accelerate in the following period after the Earth has experienced an extreme heat wave to make a place with a more pleasant climate, but on the contrary, it is colder everywhere on Earth there are waves of cold, natural disaster. has released a large amount of dust that floats in thick massive clouds above the earth's surface, this dark veil prevents the passage of much or even all of the light.

Over time, the cooling of the planet accelerates, the temperature drops drastically and is not suitable for all animals, those that are not designed to survive in temperatures other than tropical ones are inexorably declining, these radical changes play an important role in their extinction, as well as the various volcanic eruptions to which the dinosaurs could not adapt and one species after another. They became extinct because they could not survive such changes the extinction of these giants continued so without you being able to do anything about it it is a mass extinction that is happening The surface of the planet begins with all animal species being affected, especially the Dinosaurs The Various environmental changes and natural disasters had a very large impact on the extinction of many animals, including dinosaurs, but that was not the end.

Hundreds of thousands of years pass before a new catastrophe appears. that approaches slowly and silently. This time the catastrophe does not come from the interior of the planet but from the sky and space. It moves inexorably towards Earth and prepares to reach it very quickly while some of the dinosaurs are found naturally. They survived selection and a series of volcanic eruptions, in fact, they are more in danger than ever. Unknowingly, the dinosaurs are facing a cataclysmic event that will end their existence, while the dinosaurs are in increasing decline due to. to various climate changes and natural disasters such as volcanic eruptions, another event is preparing to hit them with all its force.

In a few moments the earth will experience one of the greatest shocks that, as far as we know, it has experienced since their appearance. animals A catastrophe of immense proportions is slowly preparing in the sky as it flies directly towards it 65 million years ago, towards the end of the Late Cretaceous, when life was having difficulty getting back on track after several crashes, a huge asteroid crashed into the sky. launched directly towards planet Earth. The asteroid is almost 10 kilometers in diameter and weighs more than a billion tons, truly colossal. It is a real bomb that flies towards planet Earth with a potential energy billions of times greater than that of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima despite its extinction. with which the dinosaurs have been fighting for some time are beginning to emerge to recover and rise again step by step, but exactly at this moment the asteroid decides to approach the planet.

The asteroid arrives at an incredible speed of more than 20 km/s, too fast for anything to have the power to reduce its size, weight and speed, the imminent impact will be allMeanwhile, the asteroid continues its path without anything can stop it. When the asteroid finally enters the Earth's atmosphere, it marks the beginning of the fifth great extinction that we know of on our planet, the Paleogene Cretaceous extinction marks this end. from the Mesozoic era, when among other things there were dinosaurs and, therefore, it is of great importance. On this day, a world inhabited by two million animal species ended abruptly.

In a few seconds, the billions of tons of the asteroid were literally pulverized. When it hit Earth, the asteroid turned into a meteorite and formed a 50 km deep crater. The energy released is so phenomenal that the rock of the Earth's crust behaves like a liquid element; The impact can be seen even from the Moon in a fraction of a second. In one second, all the water within a 60 kilometer radius turns into steam, so millions of animals die immediately; The animals that were about ten kilometers from the impact point did not even have time to feel the impact of the asteroid. what today is Mexico in front of theYucatan Peninsula and opened a crater at this point with a diameter of more than 200 kilometers until the hole that remains in the earth at this moment is enormous but beyond that the asteroid landed in the worst place on the planet.

The subsoil is full of potentially harmful natural elements. When the huge meteorite hit the blue planet, it fell in a region populated by sedimentary rocks, which means it is rich in oil, but not only this has the potential to trigger a new avalanche of catastrophes. , each one greater than the other, the consequences of this impact will not take long to arrive and for all living beings on the planet. Three seconds after impact, a boiling cloud of vaporized rock heads toward the ocean at supersonic speed. Wave emits phenomenal heat on its way across the ocean. Everything in its path vaporized, not crushed or melted.

It turned into gas. A portion of the earth itself turned into vapor at supersonic speed. The pressure wave ran in a northwesterly direction. due to the angle of impact it runs directly towards the American coast three minutes after impact the animals on the American coast do not notice any abnormal phenomena the hatrosaurs eat peacefully they will probably only be briefly disturbed by the hot sky and distant noise before they are reduced to ashes more Inland, the Ketzalcoat Plus have dominated the sky for thousands of years, these extraordinary birds that had a wingspan of 14 meters, but today there is no hunting for a huge one.

A deafening noise silences everything that lives. It is an unbearable noise that can be deafening. to anyone with a snap of a finger then the asteroid hits the bottom of the ocean the shock wave devastates everything in its path the noise continues and reaches a deafening force in a radius of hundreds of kilometers all the land and vegetation are immediately burned Both the animals like plants, this is the beginning of a true mass extinction. No one can fight against this impact and the most endangered species become extinct immediately without being able to defend themselves. The impact is brutal, as is the extinction of some humans.

The almighty Tyrannosaurus that could not seek shelter could not resist it, only animals that hid in caves or on the slopes of mountains survived in safe hiding places and watched their world collapse. The shock wave spread across the North American continent, turning it into a huge hell, but a strange mammal pokes its head out of its burrow to investigate the situation. These are our ancestors the pogatorius. The future of humanity is still possible thanks to this small animal that remained alive in the protection of its burrow 10 minutes after the impact. The wave has released all its energy before reaching Canada.

Some animals still don't know what just happened. Suddenly a loud crash is heard. The earth shakes. It is probably the largest earthquake the world has experienced since its creation. The meteorite caused an earthquake of magnitude 13, one hundred times stronger than any other recorded so far. The earthquake swept the planet and caused gigantic landslides that reached Antarctica. For animals, the earthquake is the first sign that the world is ending. The world has arrived 30 minutes after the impact, the planet is still shaken by earthquakes and the aftershocks last for several days. Some animals cling to their lives, but the catastrophe takes on a whole new dimension.

A gigantic tsunami is approaching. A gigantic wall of water the size of a mountain range is advancing inexorably towards the coasts the worst 24 hours in world history are not yet over after the asteroid hits the Earth 150 times faster than a fighter jet continues to provoke a reaction In a chain of cataclysms, the shock wave of vaporized rock sets the entire continental region of the United States on fire and the aftershocks of an earthquake with magnetism 13 still shake the Earth's crust 45 minutes after the impact, life continues for animals far from the collision zone in Africa Asia Europe or Antarctica but those not far from the coasts will soon be on the brink of death the ocean has risen due to the force of the impact and the gigantic tsunami is getting closer and closer to the coasts of West Africa, the dinosaurs are just recovering from the earthquake when the sea suddenly recedes and the huge tsunami crosses the Atlantic at a speed of 1000 kilometers per hour with a height of more than 1000 meters reaches the coasts and the land covers everything in its path pushes the species in its path and radically changes the climate changing the flora of the Earth strongly influenced even aquatic creatures like the giant mosasaur are caught by the current and washed ashore they would not last long but their death is inevitable five hours later of the impact the anger of the ocean calms in every corner and at the ends of the world the little ones make their way Groups of survivors make their way through the rubble but are threatened by a new catastrophe - the sky is falling on their heads - the Earth has just been hit by a gigantic earthquake and tsunami, but the most destructive effect of the impact is the millions of tons of rock that fall through the enormous crater.

The explosion threw all the rocks from the 200 kilometer crater into the atmosphere, blocks that were sometimes larger than the size of a house, the smaller ones were sent into orbit before falling directly to the planet as meteorites, whole parts of the earth's crust re-entered the atmosphere it was the largest meteor shower of all time this phenomenon lasts several hours and the sky becomes hell as soon as the meteorites fall to the ground they light up hundreds and hundreds of kilometers and devastate forests and continents, fire spreads, continues to spread across the earth's surface and travels from tree to tree from land to land and never stops burning.

The fires are ferocious and burn everything they find. The fires are even more impressive and dangerous because the asteroid contains several metals such as radioquartz and also some others. The rocks they bring with them are all melted due to the high temperatures and are therefore an important indicator of the heat that is spreading across the planet and which is extremely high. Six hours after the impact there is an astonishing calm, the rain of fire on the dry plains of Mongolia has not yet come, but now it is time for change. Upon arrival, the animals' lives are quickly interrupted by the meteor shower that devours everything in its path.

At this distance from the point of impact the meteorites are smaller, incredible as it may seem, they are no larger than a grain of sand. On the other side of the world, in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean, the ground is covered in glass beads. Molten rock has turned into glass as it enters the atmosphere. 7 hours after impact, the entire planet is in flames. The apocalypse randomly affects vulnerable creatures that do not encounter one. They are prepared for disaster, they can only trust their instincts and their instincts tell them that they have to flee. The temperature on the earth's surface rises within a few hours.

The heat is unbearable. It is so hot that in some places the rivers begin to boil. Fires break out everywhere, the dead and dying consume this new heat, it increases to unbearable temperatures for everyone, huge clouds of smoke form that cover the entire planet. They create a heavy, extremely saturated atmosphere, the air to breathe and the heat becoming increasingly oppressive ten hours later. After the impact, the world is no longer recognizable. Billions of animals have died in an incessant chain of catastrophes and yet there are some specimens to resist The pogatorius lurks underground and waits for the end of the storm while on the surface the world of dinosaurs collapses our ancestor does everything What he has to do to survive is he stays under cover, he rations food and above all he doesn't come out of his burrow. the cries of a dying world are heard soon the strongest will become extinct and the weakest will inherit the planet whether other species or those of the great wild animals of the dinosaurs are burned alive, suffocated by the smoke that spreads through the air , being killed by suffocating heat waves is a true mass extinction that is devastating the earth's soil.

The skin of most animals is not capable of fighting against such a change, much less against such high flames, the dinosaurs are They now found in a hot and dry place Land without vegetation, without food and without the possibility of cooling down. The different catastrophes had an enormous impact on the different animals but also on the whole. This latter vegetation is an important source of food, especially for the herbivores that still live in this place. At that time, the numerous carnivorous dinosaurs had to watch as their main prey, the herbivores, disappeared in large numbers due to lack of food.

The flora was completely devastated and a real mortality of plants spread. The herbivorous dinosaurs soon died of starvation. death because their main source of food had almost completely disappeared from the earth's surface. So they gradually became extinct, dragging the rest of the food chain with them into the abyss. Since carnivorous dinosaurs will also become extinct, so be it. They find it difficult to survive because they cannot provide their diet, they are malnourished and in imminent danger of death. The food chain collapses as heat from the land spreads through the water and gradually reaches the marine world over 14 hours.

After the impact, life on Earth is almost completely annihilated. Night falls on a night that the dinosaurs will no longer leave alive in the Yucatan Peninsula, the crater created by the asteroid is a smoking caldera, a gigantic circle with a diameter of 200 kilometers. In a few minutes, the mountains have risen to a height of 5,000 meters; It will take thousands of years for them to be eliminated by erosion. Beneath the debris are small crystallized carbon diamonds that bear witness to the planet's phenomenal heat. impact red nothing has survived within a radius of 1,600 kilometers orange 5,000 kilometers from the collision point Are some insects and small animals still alive?

In yellow you have to travel 8,000 kilometers to find survivors among the dinosaurs. These are almost always individual specimens. , the few survivors wander through an apocalyptic landscape of uprooted trees, scree slopes, and fires. The day was enough to decide the fate of the dinosaurs, scientists could not say for sure how quickly they became extinct in a few hours in a few days in a few months in a few years after all it does not matter if the dinosaurs died in one day One year, one century or one millennium of extinction, the only thing that matters is that there was a fundamental change in the ecosystem between the end of the Cretaceous and the beginning of the Tertiary Three days after the impact in North America, the fires have finally diminished, giving way to a scorched landscape, another cataclysm is unleashed on the planet, a new wave of extinction threatens the remaining dinosaurs, the climate is dangerously altered by smoke. , large ashes and the accumulation of toxic substances, including sulfur, which is generated by the evaporation of rock during the impact of the meteorite that hit the current planet when it hit the Yucatan Peninsula and landed on a bed of gypsum, a sulfate-rich mineral.

In a few hours, millions of tons of this corrosive element were released into the atmosphere. Sulfur reaches the atmosphere with water. Contact and after a series of chemical reactions it becomes sulfuric acid the sky is now poisoned the water that brings life today only brings suffering and death the deadly rain is corrosive enough to dissolving the rock and burning skin and flesh, the great dinosaurs no longer have shelter and are suffering true martyrdom throughout the world, animal populations are annihilated by fearsome climatic phenomena in what is now North America, acid rain forms the new landscapes before the extinction there was a beautiful coastal plain with lush vegetation after the extinction its forests disappeared, drowned by gigantic floods but during the dinosaurs are being wiped out one by one, the once vulnerable mammals show extraordinary resources their small size allowed them escape the catastrophe as they were able to escape to a safe place in their caves protected from acid rain they heard the agony of the helpless dinosaur four days after the impact, the corrosive rains began to poison the last bastion of the giants the ocean before the asteroid impact It was a universe overflowing with life that housed a wide variety of aquatic animals.

Acid rain destroyed its empire along with the ash deposit. They settle on the surface of the water and contaminate it with a toxic substance. The plankton that once formed the base of the food chain is literally dissolved, but some find a way to protect it. The sharks survive the massacre. These incredibly resilient creatures have survived severalmass extinctions thanks to an unorthodox method. In some of these life carriers, intrauterine cannibalism can be observed, the embryos eat each other, which guarantees survival. the strongest, which allowed them to survive for more than 400 million years, while many species became extinct.

Our planet has been in chaos for seven days. The fires and acid rain wiped out almost all traces of life, but the worst is. Still to come When the meteorite hit the earth, it threw a huge amount of debris into the atmosphere, added to which was smoke, soot and dust from the fires. The winds spread the ashes around the globe which gradually obscured the sunlight. The Earth was shrouded in darkness at that time. Many dinosaurs had good eyesight and relatively well-developed hearing, but only a limited sense of smell. As they moved using light and sound, they suddenly found themselves in darkness again.

For them, this new reality was even terrifying. In broad daylight there is absolute darkness, only animals that can orient themselves in the darkness have a chance of surviving, this enormous dark cloud remains parked on the surface and does not develop, worse still, it is at a very low altitude and prevents the earth from receiving any source. of light that may come from the sun or anywhere else the planet is now in complete darkness dust continues to spread across the entire surface of the earth either on the ground in the few remaining habitats or even in the air so that no Light or heat source can no longer penetrate.

Then it is a long and endless night that covers the earth and no longer retreats. Two months have passed and the darkness does not give the planet a rest, it influences the behavior of many dinosaurs. they have brains they can go crazy dinosaurs had brains it can be said that dinosaurs were largely intelligent enough to react remember something and be permanently influenced by darkness this time also our ancestor seems to be better equipped to withstand cataclysms in the age of The dinosaurs, the mammals had become nocturnal animals, part of their brain and their senses allowed them to advance in the night while an endless night stretched, the vegetation saved from the fire gradually releases the darkness The various elements in the air, large Sulfur and dust particles eventually cause a sudden cooling of the planet.

The impact is noticeable immediately, as with warming, the Earth is now in complete darkness and is gradually sinking into the icy cold of the planet. is calm and almost dead the catastrophes have ceased but as of now the entire surface is completely unrecognizable four months after the impact the sun finally begins to spread its rays reveals a terrible spectacle a chaotic landscape devastated and desolate The world is devastated, a new The catastrophe is approaching and a cold wave is imminent. Life on Earth already hangs by a thread. He will also survive this new test. The survivors will face a new torment of cold, although the sun now shines generously.

The heat of the impact produced large amounts of sulfur dioxide, this invisible gas allows light to pass through and absorbs heat, creating a reverse greenhouse effect. The planet was hit by a freezing winter with temperatures dropping below minus 10 degrees six months after impact. and the exuberant land turned its back on life all the rules have changed both the biological and geological system the frequency of rainfall the temperatures everything was disordered day and night there was no longer a way out for the dinosaurs those who were nearby The people of Poles often had to endure sub-zero temperatures at night, the lush green Mongolia before the catastrophe is now a vast desolate landscape covered in acid snow and bathed in pink light, seven months after the impact in this merciless universe that It just seems to have dissolved.

In nothingness few species survive, including our distant ancestor, the pogatorius, its warm and cozy burrow insulates the small mammal from the cold and when it comes to eating, the pogatorius is not squeamish, the mammals were scavengers, they ate everything and everyone , they had no other option if if you want to make a comparison, the current animal that is closest to the mammals of that time is the opossum. The opossum is neither a plant nor an insect nor a detritus eater, it is an animal that eats everything it finds. This is the pokertorius; manages to survive when most other species became extinct Nine months after the impact, only a handful of giant dinosaurs like Triceratops and Titanosaur were long extinct, but some carnivores like Tyrannosaurus managed to survive. survive by feeding on corpses unfortunately the food sources are running out little by little soon they have no choice but to eat each other the reign of the dinosaurs is coming to an end the wind has changed the dynasty of the dinosaurs is doomed We should see the extinction not as an event that occurred on a particular day but as a consequence of a global shock that lasted weeks, months or even years.

The species that survived are not those that came out of the water alive on the first day but those that persevered to the end. end in a final expression of despair the survivors turned to brothers who fight against large carnivores like the Tyrannosaurus they have nothing left to eat except their own kind the cannibal virus is digging the grave of the Tyrannosaurus in less than a year this massive species will is reducing Chain Reactions in a single survivor He is severely weakened and can barely stand In a world where the law of the fittest applies, the Tyrannosaurus loses the fight against one of the greatest predators of all time he is decimated by hunger Extinction means much more than the The end of a species that has existed for millions of years is the end of a species and its future.

Dinosaurs are now just a distant memory. Most of them became extinct during the fifth known mass extinction on our planet, although they lasted for dozens and dozens. of billions of years After fighting against various catastrophes, the last catastrophe defeated them, so the reign of these great predators that had been the dinosaurs ended in just one year, the entire planet was practically free of any form of life. The dinosaurs were dead and with them the marine reptiles like the mosasaur. The ocean is now just a huge empty basin except for a few species of fish and sharks.

Therosaurs, the flying reptiles, are also extinct. All the animals that were bigger. that a raccoon or a dog died the smaller they were, the luckier they were for the little ones it was a lottery one in every eleven mammals survived almost 70 percent of the species disappeared from the earth's surface the earth is now just a huge desert that . It has no resemblance to what we know today. Many forms of life have disappeared as a result of the great catastrophes. They became extinct after the arrival of the asteroid. The impact caused by it left the entire surface of the Earth completely devastated in a very short time.

The entire animal and plant world disappeared, leaving behind a desolate and empty world in place of the living, lush planet that had existed there thousands of years before. From now on there is absolute silence, there are no sounds, no movements, everything seems to be still, on pause, whether it is the various environmental changes, the volcanic eruptions in India or the effects of the impact of an asteroid on the Yucatan Peninsula. , each catastrophe has brought its own death, most of them The animals no longer exist, the flora is completely deconstructed, the world is abandoned and it will take hundreds of years until it can be properly rebuilt.

Nuclear winter lasts about ten years and was followed by a greenhouse effect that lasted 10,000 years, but the oceans needed it for 200,000 to 200,000 years. 500,000 years to recover although it seems that the heat wave followed by cooling and darkness took with it most living beings, in reality this is not the case, in fact some of the dinosaurs survived, the birds survived the catastrophe by taking refuge in hidden shadows and some of them survive as best as possible, others have managed to avoid their sad fate using strategies and resources. This is especially true for intelligently small mammals endowed with many advantages, some of them have managed to survive the various disasters when the earth becomes calmer and the catastrophes seem to have ended, the smallest mammals come out of their hiding places and resume their lives.

All of these animals have a very important characteristic: all of these mammals do not seem to weigh more than a single kilogram. The fact of not having survived what are now the smallest that populate the environment has very specific reasons, the first factor that speaks in its favor is its low food requirement, unlike the large predators, the dinosaurs, these small Mammals are omnivores, meaning they do not have a special diet. They were the least affected by the famines associated with these disasters, since they were not forced to feed on plants, the disappearance of much of the flora did not really affect them, there are another reason that allowed to survive, i.e. nutrition.

Mammals are different from many other animals, they do not have the same food needs, in fact, they can survive by eating much less food than most other creatures, the lack of food due The various disasters have certainly affected them, but much less than most other animals, except those of survival. Of mammals weighing less than a kilogram, it takes some time for biological diversity, which has also seen a huge, if not complete, decline, to recover. The ecosystem works again. The various disasters occurred so violently and at such short intervals that it was impossible for the ecosystem to rebuild itself within a few days.

Therefore, the Earth can expect new life a century after the meteorite impact in the giant crater. It is now buried underwater but the ocean remains a lifeless universe. Plankton and most fish and large marine reptiles have disappeared. This world with its incredible wealth has become a biological desert. Fortunately, land animals have more resources because there. There are no predators to decimate them. The few survivors multiply rapidly. Turtles and crocodiles bury themselves deep in the mud as soon as the asteroid's first spark strikes; warm-blooded animals fared worse if you assume that dinosaurs were warm. Of blood, they had to eat a lot and always, so they could not hibernate properly.

For our distant ancestor, the pogatorius, a new day has dawned. Nocturnal scavengers can now venture into daylight without fear, those who once served as prey for dinosaurs can now take revenge on the weakest. This is proof of the importance of random events in the history of the universe. They are fixed and cannot be prevented or changed; others strike at random and without warning. Modern technologies could do little against the impact of a meteorite like this. A world 165 million years old has already been devastated. No one can affirm that humanity will not suffer. one day the same fate as the dinosaurs in 100,000 years.

Subsequently, both the ecosystem and biodiversity developed rapidly, although various natural disasters suggested that, as in the era before the extinction of the dinosaurs, the largest mammals today reach a weight of about 8 kilograms. They have evolved and are slowly repopulating the planet. Life is gradually reshaping itself, leaving the fifth mass extinction a distant memory of another era. The plant world is also slowly regaining ground and reforming itself step by step. reform, this means that living conditions improve and give opportunities to different living beings, forests begin to cover the surface of the earth again, this time with the help of palm trees, they once again occupy the important place they had in the Late Cretaceous period and will always remain a central element on the earth's surface, the planet is gradually rebuilding and life is beginning to return to normal as biodiversity increases again and the ecosystem is gradually rebuilt, the earth is It is slowly preparing for the beginning of a new era but despite the reconstruction and the new environment, no dinosaurs appear again due to a chain of ecosystem changes and natural disasters, the reign of the dinosaurs ended at the same time.

By the end of the Late Cretaceous period, having populated planet Earth for millions of years, they were among the largest and most ferocious predators and had terrified hundreds of other animal species with their impressive dominance. These huge animals could no longer resist this massive mass. extinction, they became extinct and disappeared forever along with the time that had shaped their reign. TheFifth mass extinction marked not only the end of the dinosaurs but also the end of the Mesozoic for 66 million years.
