Massive asteroid impacts did not change Earth's climate in the long term. Two massive asteroids hit Earth around 35.65 million years ago, but did not lead to any lasting changes in the Earth's climate, according to a new study by Professor Bridget Wade (UCL Earth Sciences).

Scientists puzzled by asteroids that seemingly left no climate impacts

Two asteroids that struck Earth within 25,000 years of each other did not have a long-term impact on the planet, researchers have found. The first asteroid hit a place that is in Russia today and created a crater 60 miles wide. The other impact happened in the Chesapeake Bay on the US's East Coast about 36 million years ago.
The study was published in Communications Earth & Environment.
The craters made by the asteroid strikes are one of the big…

Massive asteroid impacts did not change Earth's climate in the long term, research finds

About 35.6 million years ago, the earth was hit by two large asteroids one after the other. Scientists have now learned that despite these large shocks, there were no lasting changes to the Earth's climate.

Umbes 35,6 miljonit aastat tagasi tabas maakera üksteise järel kaks suurt asteroidi. Nüüd said teadlased teada, et neist suurtest löökidest hoolimata ei tekkinud maakera kliimasse püsivaid muutusi.

Ancient asteroid impacts didn't shake the climate

The collision of large asteroids against the Earth is often related to the worst episodes of mass extinction, when a significant percentage of living species ceases to exist, more than to the impact itself, its consequences on the climate in the medium and long term. The last great extinction, without going further, was the one that 65 million years ago put an end to the long reign of dinosaurs (and almost 80% of all species) and was due to the …

La colisión de grandes asteroides contra la Tierra suele relacionarse con los peores episodios de extinción masiva, momentos en que un porcentaje significativo de las especies vivas dejan de existir debido, más que al impacto en sí, a sus consecuencias sobre el clima a medio y largo plazo. La última gran extinción, sin ir más lejos, fue la que hace 65 millones de años puso fin al largo reinado de los dinosaurios (y de casi el 80% de todas las es…

Massive asteroid impacts did not change Earth's climate in the long term

Two massive asteroid impacts 35.65 million years ago left significant craters but caused no long-term climate changes, according to a UCL study analyzing marine fossil isotopes. The findings highlight Earth’s climate stability over geological timescales. Two massive asteroids hit Earth around 35.65 million years ago, but did not lead to any lasting changes in the [...]
