This massive wave metaphorically resembles the impact of a meteorite that is 200 times bigger than the asteroid believed to have wiped out the dinosaurs.
This colossal meteorite played a pivotal role in shaping life on our planet. Its impact unleashed a series of geological and biological changes that fostered the conditions necessary for diverse life forms to flourish. Understanding this event gives us insights into our planet’s resilience and adaptability.
