新研究称,恐龙6500万年前在白垩纪晚期地球遭遇陨星撞击后灭绝完全是因为“运气不佳”。英国苏格兰爱丁堡大学的布鲁萨特博士说,在陨星撞地前,地球当时已经由于气候变暖而出现海平面上升和火山活动剧烈频繁等现象,已经有很多物种濒临灭绝,也使得恐龙灭绝几乎在劫难逃。他认为,如果陨星早几百万或晚几百万年撞地,恐龙还都可能有机会避免灭绝厄运,因此恐龙正可谓“运气非常糟”。在劫难逃布鲁萨特博士向BBC记者介绍恐龙灭绝
The new study said that dinosaurs died of extinction 65 million years ago in the Earth’s Late Cretaceous due to meteorite impact because of “bad luck.” Dr Bruce Sutton of the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, UK, said that before the meteorite crashed into the earth, the Earth had been experiencing sea level rise and volcanic activity due to the warming climate at that time. Many species were on the verge of extinction, making the dinosaurs almost extinct Doomed. He believes dinosaurs are indeed “very bad luck” if dinosaurs also have the chance to avoid extinction if the meteorites hit the ground millions of miles early or millions of nights late. Dr. Bruce Pattinson told BBC reporters about the extinction of dinosaurs
