The mass extinction that wiped out nearly all life on Earth just before the dinosaurs evolved may have been caused by a global temperature drop rather than a rapidly warming climate. The End Triassic ...

Massive volcanic eruptions on the Indian peninsula have long been proposed as an alternative cause for the demise of the dinosaurs. This phase of active volcanism took place in a period just before ...

For decades, the prevailing theory behind the mass extinction that ended the reign of the dinosaurs has pointed to a catastrophic asteroid impact near today’s Yucatán Peninsula. The massive crater of ...

Massive volcanic eruptions on the Indian subcontinent have long been proposed as a possible cause for the extinction of the dinosaurs. These eruptions occurred shortly before Earth was struck by a ...
