Did volcanoes kill dinos?

click for volcano


People have theories about how the mass extinction occurred. Some believe that it was from a meteor, some believe that it was from volcanoes. Others believe that it was caused by both. Studies have shown the volcanic activity occurred before the meteor even hit Earth. Other data shows that most of the eruptions came years after and were caused by the meteor.


I personally believe that the mass extinction could have been cause by both the meteor and volcanoes. I think that the meteor had more of an affect than the volcanoes did during the initial extinction and the volcanoes could have played a bigger part after the meteor struck.

    This is interesting to think about, in my opinion I believe the mass extinction was occurred only by the meteor.

    I believe that it was a mix of both. The volcanoes probably burst, and then the meteor hit and killed the dinosaurs.

    This was interesting to read about. I never thought of volcanoes causing mass extinction. I still think it occurred because of the meteor

Dual-fuel vehicles

A recent study shows that dual- fuel vehicles are benefiting the population but, turns out they are costing the environment. While substituting gasoline for ethanol gases, it causes an increase of ultra fine particle matter, with a 30% increase of atmospheric concentration. The problem is that they are less then 50 nanometers in diameter. The nano particles are also not track or regulated by the environmental agencies. We inhale these gases everyday, inhaling ethanol. The most practical way to reduce greenhouse gases is using electric, hybrid and biofuel care.   https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828124546.htm

Acid Zone in Chesapeake Bay Found

     According to the University of Delaware, the Chesapeake Bay is becoming acidic as it has gone to 7.4 pH from an average of 8.2. The oxidation of ammonia and hydrogen sulfide may be the factor that is leading to the higher acidity levels in coastal oceans, but it can eventually lead to more of open oceans. Naturally the waters of the Chesapeake Bay have a regulatory system that holds back the increase of acidity levels in the area, and this works as the dissolving of living shells, non-living aragonite, and calcite minerals. Though nature has a path to keep the waters in the Chesapeake Bay, humans should take more care of our Earth as we have a role in polluting the water and rising the acidity levels in coastal oceans. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2017/08/170828093737.htm
