What if a Giant Asteroid Strikes Today

If the asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs strikes today, the results would be devastating. It would produce an explosion billions of times more powerful than all the nuclear weapons on Earth combined. A monstrous crater, perhaps hundreds of kilometres wide would be formed, releasing a huge amount of energy into the atmosphere. The initial impact would also cause widespread destruction, with tsunamis, earthquakes, and wildfires sweeping across the globe. This would cause a global climate change, with temperatures dropping and the atmosphere becoming filled with dust and smoke. The prolonged darkness, similar to a nuclear winter, would inhibit photosynthesis thereby triggering the collapse of food chains. Our bright, green world would turn dark and grim, and many animals and plants might not survive, just like the dinosaurs.
So NASA is actively working on developing a planetary defence system to protect us from asteroid impacts.

Teaching kid immortal subjects. Humanity has nothing to do for the state you are in. You are not doing the things that are moral and beneficial to one another. We are devided between good and evil. Mortalities are the key factor to piece and faith. There is peace love and harmony. Not in temples or in a human environment. It's called nature. The peace in your life comes from within. Not outside. If the light insides you shine, nature will bring peace harmony to your home and the one you love. There is nothing for you in a man made environment. You are all burning up and imploding inside out. 🤗 those that find peace live a life others can only have but dont. If they have no soul of there own they will move in on someone else who does. That's dangerous. 🙂

i remember seeing a video explaining how we could survive the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs, but we'd have to prepare in advance. if we have all necessary supplies, we could survive for the decade or so that the earth is covered with clouds and dust. after that, we could slowly build our civilization back up, but we would need at least 100 years to repopulate a decent amount of people. that, and raising children in the new climate will be difficult. one thing we've learned is that life can adapt. if anything bad happens, we will be ok ❤

Who lived before dinosaurs ?could you explain that too

[@sarahm.4926]

Actually.... before the dinosaurs were the Masters of the Universe, marine life and insects reigned supreme.....can you imagine a spider as big as a dog or a millipede as big as a school bus? Dragonflies had 20 ft. wingspans....the reason for this was because the oxygen levels on Earth before the dinosaurs was very very high thanks to all the flora covering the planet. Then there was another mass extinction (there have been 5 in Earth's history) via a very large volcano that erupted deep in the Earth's crust that wiped out most of those species. Once the Earth finally started to recover, oxygen levels decreased a bit and reptiles became king. Insects and marine species started to evolve into smaller and smarter species groups to evade the large reptiles that had taken over. The most amazing thing about our planet is its ability to rebound, remodel, remove and repopulate. ❤
