36、journal Scientific Reports. It means dinosaurs could still rule the earth and humans may never have evolved at all.The roughly six mile (10km) wide planet created a crater (坑)more than 110 miles (176km) across when it smashed into our planet. The collision released more than 1 billion times as much
37、energy as the atomic bomb explosion which destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the close of World War 11.More than 75 percent of all land and sea animals, the most famous of which being dinosaurs, were wiped out as a result. Huge volumes of ash, soot and dust shot into the atmosphere, blocking as muc
38、h as 80 percent of precious sunlight from reaching the surface of the planet.The pair believe the key ingredient in the extinction was the soot, which was produced when the crash lighted rocks loaded with hydrocarbon molecules (碳氢化合物分子)such as oil. However, the amount of hydrocarbon in rocks varies
39、widely depending on their location. With this in mind, the team set about analysing places on Earth where the rocks have a high hydrocarbon molecule content.They found that only about 13 percent of the planet have such an environment, essentially meaning that the dinosaurs wereunlucky when the minor
40、 planet hit in such a hydrocarbon rich area.“The catastrophic chain of events could only have occurred if the minor planet had hit the hydrocarbon-rich areas occupying approximately 13 percent of the Earths surface/5 the scientists wrote in a university press release.Its a good thing fbr humanity, h
