    A ruthless murder was committed! Someone killed the dinosaurs and we have the murderer! Witnesses say that an Everest-sized asteroid hit Earth, devastated the planet and caused a mass extinction. A simple, fascinating and convincing explanation. Or… is it?

    For those wondering, the most likely source of the next flood basalt eruption will be the same plume that probably created the Deccan Traps: the Réunion Plume, currently located beneath South Africa all the way to the East coast of Madagascar. It’s one of the largest subterranean structures on Earth (possibly dating back to the beginning of Earth, maybe even caused by the theorized Theia impact that formed the moon), and currently it’s pretty quiet. Small plumes branch off of it to form individual active volcanoes. However, it has a massive blob of magma located beneath Southern Africa that would dwarf the Deccan Traps and rival the Siberian Traps in size if it ever managed to surface. Luckily for us it would take tens of millions of years at minimum to do so. So y’all can sleep soundly knowing that we probably won’t be seeing fiery volcanic doom within our lifetimes! Probably.

    Large drops in oxygen levels, mass desertification, ocean acidification, the devastation of basically every single genera of living thing (not even the *insects* got through this one without getting hit hard).

    • @a.karley4672
      @a.karley4672 Před 6 dny

      The desertification was probably largely a consequence of all the continents being in more or less one group. Most of the interior was a LONG way from a sea, from which the atmosphere could pick up moisture.
      I wonder what the configuration of MORs was like, and if that contributed to reduced oceanic oxidation?
      OTOH, the interiors of the oceans would have been a long way from mineral nutrients, in the same way that most of the land was a long way from water.

  • @wraithship
    @wraithship Před 28 dny +201

    I'm surprised you didn't mention the lensing effect. The fact that the Yucatan impact was almost exactly on the other side of the planet to the decan traps, would mean the impact shockwaves would be focused on the decan traps, rupturing the crust and sending the traps into overdrive.

    • @PaleoEdits
      @PaleoEdits Před 27 dny +24

      Except the Earth's core stops such sesmic waves - nor do they travel in a straight line through the mantle. Besides, the deccan started erupting hundreds of thousands of years prior to the impact. The Earth has seen plenty of LIP's (we even have an active one today in Iceland) without cosmic intervention. The deccan is by no mean an odd case, nor the largest LIP volcanos in Earth history. Some are connected to extinction event, but most are not.

    This is somewhat hilarious because the Deccan Traps were one of the prevailing theories for the extinction of the dinosaurs before the asteroid impact theory was proposed in 1980. It wasn't until evidence of the impact was found globally in the geological record (the K-Pg or K-T boundary) that the Deccan Traps were largely dismissed as the cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs, and yet about 40+ years later, evidence is suggesting that things are still not so cut and dry.
    On a somewhat related note, it wasn't until I read about this in the book "T. rex and the Crater of Doom" that I realized that the asteroid impact theory of extinction was a relatively new theory. As someone born in the 1980s, the asteroid theory was what I was taught and I had no reason to think that it was published only four years before I was born. The Chicxulub crater wasn't even discovered until the early 90s. Wild.

    This gives the volcanoes contribution to dinosaur extinction a lot more weight. In school it had only really been described as a LOT of volcanoes for a long time, which didn’t sound as sensational as the meteor. The extra depth this video goes into makes it seem a lot more plausible, and in hindsight, makes way more sense that it wasn’t just the dust and ash kicked up by the meteor blocking out the sun, but all the volcanic gases that were already in the atmosphere

    • @SomeKindOfDodo

      Scariest is the subtext for 4:00 until 5:00
      The oceans heated up only 2°C because of a mix of massive CO2 and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) cooling
      Yes cooling
      Our oceans just overheated last year in the northern summer and stand to do so again this year.
      Why?
      Because we had sulfur in ocean shipping fuel. This is emitted into the atmosphere as SO2. Which is not a normal greenhouse gas as it only stays up there a few months and then comes down as mildly acidic rain, it also REFLECTS more heat due to this.
      Sulphur was removed from most terrestrial fuels a few decades ago. Meanwhile in 2020, while the news was dominated by covid, the international shipping industry ordered a massive reduction in their sulphur in fuel. This was to reduce acid rain, but had the side effect of removing the cooling effect of SO2 from the massive amount of shipping between the US, the EU and China across the northern seas.
      SO2 was effectively a global shield to global warming, which we have only just removed. The oceans are projected to go over 2 °C of change within a decade. This is scary subtext.
      What is scariest is we as humanity are too stupid as a whole to do anything about it until it is too late. Too many people make too much money to do anything different until its unstoppable.
      Lookup what the wetbulb event will be, this will likely become reality in the equator in the next few decades. If you live there, make it a life project to leave if you can.

      @@ToxicTurquoise454seems like we are speedrunning it. And if we don't see the end of the speedrun it won't be because of old age.

      well, to be fair, it's impossible for climate change to kill us all, but the problem is that at a minimum it'll kill 100 million to 2 billion and set us back decades
