Massive submarine volcanic eruption that wiped out the dinosaurs

The famous Italian physicist Antonio Chicchi recently proposed that the cause of the mass extinction of the dinosaurs was probably a large-scale submarine volcanic eruption.

Professor Chikichi believes that at the end of the Cretaceous, a series of large-scale volcanic eruptions occurred under the ocean on Earth, which affected the thermal balance of seawater and caused changes in the land climate, thus affecting the need for a large amount of food to survive. The survival of dinosaurs and other animals. His reason is that the impact of modern submarine volcanic eruptions on the ocean and atmosphere is well known, but the extent of their impact is much smaller than that of submarine volcanic eruptions that occurred 65 million years ago.

Professor Chikichi believes that in the past, the scientific community knew very little about submarine volcanic eruptions, and now needs to conduct in-depth research on this phenomenon that seriously affects the earth's environment. For example, he said that Greenland used to have dense vegetation, but when the global ocean water temperature balance changed, cold ocean currents changed their flow and passed through Greenland, turning this large island into a land covered with ice and snow. This is a classic example of how changes in ocean water temperature balance can have a huge impact on climate. Undersea volcanic activity is an important factor affecting changes in ocean water temperature balance. Therefore, Professor Chikichi believes that changes in ocean water temperature balance caused by large-scale eruptions of submarine volcanoes should be used as an important reference factor in studying the extinction of dinosaurs.
