Researchers say the impact of the giant asteroid had triggered massive tsunamis and led to wildfires that were thousands of miles away.
Researchers help confirm what has always been hypothesized by examining an impact crater off the Gulf of Mexico.
A new study found that extreme changes in the atmosphere were responsible for almost 100 percent of life on Earth being killed more than 2 billion years ago.

The Sahara might seem like one of Earth’s most lifeless regions today, but its fossils show it was once a vast seaway filled with giant fish and some of the largest sea snakes the planet has ever seen.
