Continued from part 1…..
None of these recent supernovae have happened near
enough to earth to have caused such a significant effect
in spite of there brightness. But statistically it is probable
that at least one supernova will within 100 light years
away from us every 50 million years- and as close at
this, its force would be enough to disrupt our protective
upper atmosphere, shower the earth with cosmic rays,
and bring about a marked and prolonged
drop in temperature.
Exactly this seems to have happened at the death
of the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs and large flowering plants,
highly evolved and vulnerable because of there size,
would be initially devastated by radiation.
WILL WE EVER KNOW THE TRUTH ABOUT DINOSAURS? WHAT DO YOU THINK HAPPENED TO THEM??????? LEAVE A COMMENT X THANKS ALL FOR READING THIS PIECE.
