Dinosaurs died frozen, not burned, study says

Contrary to popular belief that dinosaurs became extinct in warm environments, the study proved otherwise.

From various sources we came to the conclusion that dinosaurs died due to high temperatures. There may be a mistake in this. New research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS)says the opposite, that is, that Dinosaurs died frozen, not burned.

According to research work, The end-Triassic extinction event occurred because sulfate particles released into the atmosphere cooled the planet.freezing many of its inhabitants.

A gradual increase in temperature in an already hot environment might have finished the job later, but it was volcanic winters those that caused the most damage, the researchers say.

Volcanic winters

To reach these conclusions, the researchers’ path consisted of correlate data from rock sediments from Morocco, Nova Scotia and the Newark Basin in New Jersey.

Having carried out the appropriate analysis, Scientists have seen that volcanic eruptions release so much sulfate so quickly that the sun is almost completely obscured.causing a sharp drop in temperature.

What we’re talking about shouldn’t have lasted long, since volcanic sulfate aerosols tend to disappear from the atmosphere in a matter of years. However, as the study explains, Due to the speed and force of the eruptions, these volcanic winters were devastating..
