Using gravity to study changes
Using gravity to study changes in ancient crusts on the seafloor scientists gain possible insight into how the Chicxulub meteorite affected volcanic activity on the mid-ocean ridge.
Video provides a summary of new findings from the University of Oregon that suggest the Chicxulub meteorite impact set off the release of magma along seafloor ridges around the world, adding a layer of complexity to the debate on what drove a major extinction event. The research suggests the meteor's impact enhanced already existing volcanism in the Deccan Traps and triggered a pulse of global volcanic activity.
