Artwork showing Chicxulub impact crater, Yucatan
Chicxulub crater. Artwork showing the location of the Chicxulub impact crater (centre) on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico. This impact may have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and 70% of all Earths species 65 million years ago. The 5 red dots represent the cities of (from left to right): Mexico City, Tempico (where material ejec- ted from the crater has been found), Guatemala City, Havanna and Miami. The crater is about 180 kilometres (km) wide and was caused by an asteroid or comet core which was 10-20 km across. The impact threw trillions of tonnes of dust into the atmosphere which may have blocked the Suns light and caused global climate changes
