    Asteroid strike caused global firestorm that incinerated the dinosaurs

    A 10-15 km-wide asteroid struck the Gulf of Mexico 66 million years ago, causing a global firestorm that incinerated dinosaurs. The impact vaporized rock, released a heat pulse lethal to surface life, and generated dust and spherules that triggered prolonged fires and thermal radiation.

    Asteroid bombardment may have delayed Earth’s first continents

    Research from Curtin University and Queensland University of Technology suggests repeated asteroid impacts during Earth's Hadean era injected heat into the planet's interior, keeping the crust hot and unstable. This delayed the formation of stable continents by preventing the crust from solidifying, according to a study published in Science.
