the problem with the flood basalt hypothesis is that it took several million years for the Siberian traps to cause the end-permian extinction, and it happened in waves. By contrast, the K-Pg extinction happened almost instantaneously, pointing to a cause much more immediately catastrophic. It seems most likely that the Deccan traps were weakening ecosystems, and made the impact even more devastating than it would otherwise have been.
My problem with it has always been the presence of the asteroid itself. Expecting anyone to believe that a massive asteroid hit the earth at the same time as a sudden and abrupt mass extinction, but WASN'T THE CAUSE, always struck me as incredibly silly without some pretty compelling evidence.
I think it was both an asteroid AND volcanic activities. I watched a video (Demolition Ranch) where he shot a large solid glass ball with guns. One bullet hit the ball on the front, causing a nice crater. Then they noticed on the other side of the ball, exactly opposite the bullet crater, a small roughly circular area of cracks. The interveving areas of glass were unaffected. It was like a shock wave went around the glass and focused on the opposite side, magnifying their power to cause the cracking. I think the same thing happened to earth when the asteroid hit, causing the traps volcanism.
Huh, that's interesting! I have seen on another video, Atlaspro's video on Mars, about how the large martian volcanos line up with large craters on the opposite side of the planet. Hell Hawaii here on Earth lines up with a massive and ancient crater in Southern Africa. I wonder what volcanos were triggered by this impact, wonder if there's evidence of it too!
Similar to a head injury: the ‘contra-coup’ mechanism, where the brain opposite the insult is damaged. The antipodal effect is seen on the moon, Mars, and other bodies. Interesting
You are describing the theory of antipode eruptions post impact. This is a common theory for a lot of impacts and one that was brought up with this one linking the Deccan traps together as the traps were pretty much on the opposite side at the time. However, there are basalt deposits from the Deccan traps that predate this impact. But another more prominent theory is that it was a double hit to life. It started with the enormous volume of greenhouse gasses expelling from the Deccan traps and then this impact. The meteor impacted in a shallow sea which had a thick floor of carbonate rock. The impact valorized a crazy amount of this carbonate rock and released massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere. Coupled with the months of fire raining down onto the surface and the years of nuclear winter afterwards, the final nails were hammered into the coffin for dinosaurs.
I'm watching this several months later. A very recent video I came across posed the possibility that some non-avian dinosaurs not only managed to survive the asteroid, but they also continued to live on over a hundred thousand years later. Paleontologists theorize that they lvied for another 33,000 or even 500,000 years after the asteroid, which, if true, is amazing to think about.
I just love how they can look back 66 million years and know that it rained fire for 15 minutes but apparently they can’t predict the weather for the next week accurately
It's incredible when you say "just 30,000 year's later" because to us 30,000 year's is hard to comprehend because it's such a long period of time but in the larger picture of the universe 30,000 year's is like a 30min nap

Noticing from Jupiter that a single lone asteroid, not that big compared to some of the others out there, not that fast compared to some of the others out there, aimed at that extremely specific spot, would be incredibly easy to overlook.
this event always leaves me with one single question: how could there be any survivors at all? not the mass extinction makes me wonder anymore, only it´s survivors.

6:30 "North Dakota is 3000km away from the impact." Well, today it is. The land masses were quite different 64 million years ago. No one ever really discusses that aspect when talking about dinosaurs and this asteroid impact.
The land masses were not quite different. Everything was in pretty much the same spot. Some land today was underwater and some water today was land, but thats it
Wow. This vid really shook the old brain cells up and helped me remember something of my own youth. As a kid I went through the Ouachita mountains in Arkansas on a trip with my family. All was fine until we came upon a place where all traffic was being stopped. Why that was I can't recall. Anyhow, we sat on the highway for over half an hour and since there was no danger of traffic my parents allowed me to get out of the car. I walked over to rock ledges which jutted from a mountain. I noticed many fossils in the shale rock so I pocketed several which I took to school to show everyone. My teacher, Mrs. Waller, thought they were excellent fossils and asked if she could take them home to show some friends. Too bad I let her because I never saw them again. 🤨
There's a lot of Star Trek novels out there, but there is one that I read last year called "First Frontier." The story is batshit crazy. In a nutshell, descendants of dinosaurs who were seeded on another planet and have since developed into intelligent and technologically-advanced species, travel to earth, go back in time and prevent the asteroid from hitting the planet, thus essentially erasing humanity from existing, and therefore, no Starfleet. Kirk and co. are in a temporal anomaly on the other side of the quadrant that is a direct result of the timeline being altered, and they survive the changes. They go back to earth, beam down to Starfleet headquarters, and all they see is a grassland area. They also encounter Vulcans and Klingons, but both races are vastly different than what they know them as. Kirk and his people end up having to go back in time to prevent the dinosaur people from averting the asteroid impact. One of the final scenes ends with them in orbit of earth as the asteroid makes impact. Just an absolutely crazy premise for a story, but if you're both a Star Trek fan and a dinosaurs enthusiast, you will love "First Frontier."
Most of the newest evidence says that the asteroid weakened the whole ecosystem but the volcanoes slowly chiped away at the dinosaurs for around 200k or even a million years before most of them became extinct, but there are still debates if the volcanoes were caused by the impact or if they were active well before it and it just happened for a huge metheorite to strike at that time.
@Karl_Jayce It probably did make a mini ice age, but for few years max, if it was only an asteroid there would be a mass dying but not on such a huge scale. Even older models acknowledged this but they thought the asteroid triggered the vulcanism and had a much bigger impact on the extinction then what is now though.
Some members of each type of surviving vertebrate animal now live (and may have then lived) in burrows or caves. Those environments would protect against the initial fires and overheated air which would wipe out other above ground dwellers.
It can appear that a massive impact event ringing the earth like a bell, may have destabilised already unstable volcanism, and initiated a huge flood basalt event. Two for the price of one. Either on their own would have been devastating, but one after the other was catastrophic.
A scientific theory is one based upon substantial evidence, and not contradicted by other evidence. This video goes over quite a bit of evidence actually
"Hey, Chief Exobiologist: There's this utterly unremarkable little blue-green planet orbiting an utterly unremarkable yellow sun a thousand light-years from here. Let's send a huge research expedition out there to study it for, say, four billion years." "Love it! Let's do it!"
Imagine seeing the ocean fill back the massive crater as the land mass it just hit burns in the background. What a fittingly badass end for a group of badass animals
Excellent, simply excellent. I don't know how you got permission to use clips from so many videos, but you did a wonderful job of editing and narrating. The next time the aliens visit they will see us, wallowing in our own stupidity.
The most sensible theory is "both". It makes sense that such an impact might trigger a lot of geological activity. There are a lot of regions on Earth, particularly at tectonic boundaries that are somewhat on a "knife's edge" at any given moment when it comes to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Give the Earth a good punch in the face like that, and it's bound to push that balance over the edge all at once. Energy goes in, it has to come back out somehow. Kaboom.
Oddly enough, I will often start to tear up when this subject comes up either it be a video or in conversation. And I’m not a cryer, It’s almost as if it was such a devastating event and so sudden that the trauma is still in our DNA memory somehow?
I'm getting old… when I was a kid I learned that this extinction event had happened 65 million years ago, and now it's 66 million 😕

6:30 "North Dakota is 3000km away from the impact." Well, today it is. The land masses were quite different 64 million years ago. No one ever really discusses that aspect when talking about dinosaurs and this asteroid impact.
Appreciate ur analytical approach
The land masses were not quite different. Everything was in pretty much the same spot. Some land today was underwater and some water today was land, but thats it
Fascinating video. Great content! Thank you!
4:48 human scientists lol.
😂
😂😂😂
How do we know the earths core is rich in iridium if we’ve never drilled that deep to gather a sample?
That thumbnail is gorgeous, imagine all the giant carcasses our tiny mammal ancestors must have seen when they survived that apocalypse.
Megatron happened
No it was The Black marker.
Tidal wave 3,300 ft high... I'm no scientist but I think that is a wave 3x the height of the twin towers.
I feel sorry for the dinosaurs.
Don’t they in Dino heaven
this was amazing, thanks for this!
There was no meteor. Your mom, back when she was still a young woman fell over while arguing with her sauropod boyfriend and boom.. extinct dinosaurs
Every time i think of this event, i just feel deep sadness.
Why? Its like feelling sadness 4 cockroaches!
It was me btw, the rock ? Yep, my bad
we're the reason aliens don't visit
Why?
The south park episode where the aliens test our worthiness to join their galactic federation with the whole space cash scheme is spot-on.
Wow. This vid really shook the old brain cells up and helped me remember something of my own youth. As a kid I went through the Ouachita mountains in Arkansas on a trip with my family. All was fine until we came upon a place where all traffic was being stopped. Why that was I can't recall. Anyhow, we sat on the highway for over half an hour and since there was no danger of traffic my parents allowed me to get out of the car. I walked over to rock ledges which jutted from a mountain. I noticed many fossils in the shale rock so I pocketed several which I took to school to show everyone. My teacher, Mrs. Waller, thought they were excellent fossils and asked if she could take them home to show some friends. Too bad I let her because I never saw them again. 🤨
I didn't think it could change that much in a single day. That's amazing!
Hang in there, dinosaur-kun!
I was born in the Ford Galaxy, and I can promise my people won't harm humans, much.
There's a lot of Star Trek novels out there, but there is one that I read last year called "First Frontier." The story is batshit crazy. In a nutshell, descendants of dinosaurs who were seeded on another planet and have since developed into intelligent and technologically-advanced species, travel to earth, go back in time and prevent the asteroid from hitting the planet, thus essentially erasing humanity from existing, and therefore, no Starfleet. Kirk and co. are in a temporal anomaly on the other side of the quadrant that is a direct result of the timeline being altered, and they survive the changes. They go back to earth, beam down to Starfleet headquarters, and all they see is a grassland area. They also encounter Vulcans and Klingons, but both races are vastly different than what they know them as. Kirk and his people end up having to go back in time to prevent the dinosaur people from averting the asteroid impact. One of the final scenes ends with them in orbit of earth as the asteroid makes impact. Just an absolutely crazy premise for a story, but if you're both a Star Trek fan and a dinosaurs enthusiast, you will love "First Frontier."
I thank you for taking the time and effort to create educational works like this
Most of the newest evidence says that the asteroid weakened the whole ecosystem but the volcanoes slowly chiped away at the dinosaurs for around 200k or even a million years before most of them became extinct, but there are still debates if the volcanoes were caused by the impact or if they were active well before it and it just happened for a huge metheorite to strike at that time.
I never believed Asteroid of just 12km covered whole planet dark... fairy-tale
@Karl_Jayce It probably did make a mini ice age, but for few years max, if it was only an asteroid there would be a mass dying but not on such a huge scale. Even older models acknowledged this but they thought the asteroid triggered the vulcanism and had a much bigger impact on the extinction then what is now though.
The movie '65' was so great, with Adam Driver--Alien Spaceship crash lands on earth just before the extinction event Asteroid Impact
Some members of each type of surviving vertebrate animal now live (and may have then lived) in burrows or caves. Those environments would protect against the initial fires and overheated air which would wipe out other above ground dwellers.
It can appear that a massive impact event ringing the earth like a bell, may have destabilised already unstable volcanism, and initiated a huge flood basalt event. Two for the price of one. Either on their own would have been devastating, but one after the other was catastrophic.
It always makes me kind of sad thinking about it. All those amazing creatures gone.
😂 if there aren't your the first one went extinct their all ferious lol
I vote asteroid.👍
There is absolutely NO EVIDENCE for this total theory.
Except all of the evidence
hahahaha Perfect response
I am inclined to believe you except there is evidence albeit it was a minor event. This could not be a world extinction event.
You should watch the video, it’s a lot about the evidence.
A scientific theory is one based upon substantial evidence, and not contradicted by other evidence. This video goes over quite a bit of evidence actually
Maps are always inaccurate, because Florida was underwater at the time of the impact
"Hey, Chief Exobiologist: There's this utterly unremarkable little blue-green planet orbiting an utterly unremarkable yellow sun a thousand light-years from here. Let's send a huge research expedition out there to study it for, say, four billion years." "Love it! Let's do it!"
i get so sad everytime i think about what the dinosaurs went thru, this is such an informative video.Thank you!
The thumbnail is... perfect! great piece of art
Imagine seeing the ocean fill back the massive crater as the land mass it just hit burns in the background. What a fittingly badass end for a group of badass animals
Excellent, simply excellent. I don't know how you got permission to use clips from so many videos, but you did a wonderful job of editing and narrating. The next time the aliens visit they will see us, wallowing in our own stupidity.
I will like to see the life and animals and evolution of The whole Triassic period. - Thank you Astrum for exellent videos and stories.
Now this is some quality content
Pretty wild that we are all living in this modern era of human sophistication before the next cataclysmic mass extinction
The most sensible theory is "both". It makes sense that such an impact might trigger a lot of geological activity. There are a lot of regions on Earth, particularly at tectonic boundaries that are somewhat on a "knife's edge" at any given moment when it comes to earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Give the Earth a good punch in the face like that, and it's bound to push that balance over the edge all at once. Energy goes in, it has to come back out somehow. Kaboom.
Fascinating and well presented. How about showing a close-up of the first life on land?
It all happened all of this time goes on and who knows what the future holds. I find these videos marvelous
Oddly enough, I will often start to tear up when this subject comes up either it be a video or in conversation. And I’m not a cryer, It’s almost as if it was such a devastating event and so sudden that the trauma is still in our DNA memory somehow?
Great depiction and explanation of this huge extinction event.. 🙏
