How The Dinosaurs Became Extinct From An Asteroid Strike | Catastrophe
The dinosaurs rose up as rulers of the Earth 250 million years ago, commanding every other species and dominating them. However, 65 million years ago, the Earth was rocked by a great catastrophe that annihilated the might dinosaurs. We discover the trail of tantalizing clues that lead to the discovery of what killed them and ultimately lead to the evolution of humans.
In this truly spectacular documentary series, we go on a journey through the history of natural disasters. We'll be investigating from the planet's beginnings to the present, putting a new perspective on our existence and suggesting that we are the product of catastrophe. For each disaster led to another leap forward on the evolutionary trail form single celled bacteria to humankind itself.

Uhm. So, we’re rewriting history, now, Naked Science? Whatever happened to that lovely father/son team that found the iridium in Italy? I’ve been a science buff for a very long time and I’ve never heard this fellow getting credit for the discovery. Not that he wasn’t involved, geologists all over the world were looking for this. I don’t begrudge him in your otherwise good movie. I just want to know where history changed, and why.
Same
Science… so falsely called.
I bet it was a Monday. Monday's normally suck. 😂😂😂
Good one 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It was a Tuesday. Think about it, Monday isn't terrible because you go back to work, but you get to see your friends. Wednesday isn't bad because the week is half over. Thursday is the day before Friday. And Friday is Friday, the week is over. But Tuesday? Tuesday has nothing good about it.
@theatlantafisherman6913 Lol. Na, definitely on a Monday, if not it was late on a Sunday afternoon, screwing up a great weekend 😂😂😂😂
😂🤣😅
Thankyou so much for making such great documentaries like this which explain everything in such an in-depth, well-scripted and nicely produced way.
Raining molten marbles, then the ash blotted out the sun for months, maybe years, that was the nail in the coffin.
And if you can find the parh of the debris trail from the impact on out across the universe....well then....I THINK you'd have a natural eventual path toward familiar biology...dinosaurs maybe!...in ten thousand years it could be a headline.....BIG PRINT!!!!!
Why does the video credit this geologist instead of Walter and Luis Alvarez, who actually discovered the K/T boundary and formulated the asteroid hypothesis in the early 1980's?
Jan smit has been credited with correlating Luis's findings with the worldwide phenomenon, by Luis Alvarez himself. I was surprised to know that as well.
I honestly never heard of this guy
Who really discovered.
How out of date is this..... K-T boundry!!!
And we all will be following the Extinct 😮
this is like the third Dinosaur extinction event video I've seen in the last month! All of them good. For some reason, the Cretacious extinctin event is what everyone wants to talk about lately! I remember the Asteroid impact/extinction event, and the life at the ocean vents were the two top discoveries of my 80's youth. I read the book Nemesis from Mueller. Nemesis theory is almost certainly disproven; but, it's a great book! I just find it a little interesting that everyone is talking about the Dinosaur extinction event in the last couple of weeks/maybe a month.
The British version "catastrophe" wast better narrator❤
30:28 Surfs up guys.
Love the way they say it was almost hotter than the surface of the sun. 26:25 that is way hotter than the surface of the sun which is 5600 deg C. That's blue its twice the temperature of the sun in other words plasma which is 11000 deg C. And I've only got high-school science.
So many salty young-Earth creationists, this should be funny... **grabs popcorn**
You said they found the murder weapon ? Who used the murder weapon?
A NEW THOUGHT for me.. doesn't this mean that debris from the impact took off through outer space?....seeding the Universe with earth life toasted on the outside. Then flash frozen!...
Seems like that tsunami would’ve been a lot higher than 300 feet… the tsunami that happened in Alaska from that landslide was 800 feet… and that was just a landslide creating that super tsunami
The height of the tsunami wave depends very much on the distance and the shape of the landscape where you are. The Alaska tsunami was 800 feet in the valley where that landslide happened. And that valley was quite narrow so all the displaced water had to rush through a small zone, adding to the wave height. The 300 feet tsunami was thousands of miles away from the impact zone. Near Yucatan the wave probably reached several thousands of feet in height.
That occurred in an enclosed space, similar to a valley, so the water had less space in which to move in reaction to the slide. Thus it was much taller than the result would have been in a more open space …
Spoilt by so many repeat quotes....Stopped watching it in the end due to repetitive graphics and phrases.
Well the channel is called naked science
@@ColocasiaCorm So what's your point
@@charlieoscar09 not sure let me think on that
@@ColocasiaCorm I see.....Talking utter rubbish , in fact you don't know why you're commenting. Saddo
Seriously 😳
I REALIZE I'M TALKING star position 65 million years ..and hoping to find some splotch of the sky with more iridium thrown somewhere that has since splattered by star motion. ..it could be readily apparent..ALREADY DONE and I'm advertising ignorance.......
And if so....is there some way to discover the general direction of the chunks of earth and asteroid that made the other half of the explosion/ impact equation.. you know this. For every action there is an equal and opposite etc...

This documentary is not very good and some of the information in it is outright false. Yes, some of that is due to its age (2008) and can therefore be excused, like the fact that according to new datings the impact happened 66 and not 65 million years ago and that it is now called the K-Pg boundary, not the K-T boundary anymore. But as others already noted: Where are the contributions of Walter and Luis Alvarez? They are mentioned nowhere. And the constant repetitions are just annoying. @2:00 _"[The impact] led directly to the emergence of mammals."_ This is misleading at best. Mammals were existing long before the impact. In fact they already existed in the Mid Triassic, about 150 million years before the Chicxulub impact. @46:57 _"A few egg layers did make it. Some were the flying dinosaurs who layed their eggs in trees. They evolved into birds."_ Wrong. Birds didn't evolve after the asteroid impact. They existed long before it. We already have a lot of fossils from the Lower Cretaceous with an age of ~130 million years that look a lot like modern birds.
For the Dinosaurs to be so large, the Earth would have to be rotating slower. At least half the speed that it is rotating right now. The Asteroid that hit the earth was large enough to increase the rotation speed!! causing every thing to weigh more in a instant, causing every thing to die that weighed more than 50 pounds.
There would be no Americans left if something similar happened.
_"For the Dinosaurs to be so large, the Earth would have to be rotating slower."_ Why this? The rotational speed of the Earth doesn't have any influence on the size of animals living on it. _"The Asteroid that hit the earth was large enough to increase the rotation speed!!"_ Not even close. The Earth has a mass of about 6 * 10^24 kg. The asteroid had a mass in the range of 10^16 kg. FYI: This is one hundred millionth of Earth's mass. With atomic clocks you might have been able to measure a teeny-tiny effect of the impact but your "at least half the speed" is completely off the mark. Apart from that we do know how the rotational speeds of the Earth changed in the past. Indeed they were faster (at the time of Chicxulub a year had about 370 days) and they get constantly slower over time but only in very tiny amounts. But this has nothing to do with asteroid impacts.
They've proven that The Earth is tidely locked with the moon, and the moon used to be much closer. The Earth actually rotated much faster not slower, in the past, and as the moon moves further away we are slowing down.
Homer Simpson gave them Covid! 🦕 🦖 👾 🦠🤧
tony the narrator is far better in the uk ver
No mention of Louis and Walter Alvarez.
Hey...did this impact seed the Universe with thrown off toasted/ flash frozen Earth life?...
Science is freaking amazing!!
where did this massive meteor hit?
Lol Yucatan peninsula in Mexico (Chixulube)
And the other crater they talked about is in Arizona (USA)
Also a nuclear blast causes shocked quartz
A 20 year old episode. Yay.
😂😂
Cut the ads, you are very greedy
It amazed me that we figured this out 65,000 yrs later , Dam were good ! Just freaking amazing. Humans are pretty smart yeah!
Cool story bro
I wonder what the poor old dinosaurs did to piss God of that much all we've had so far was a bit of a flood a few years back and we had Noah with his get out of jail card for that one.
Hey, if the earth was flat, all the water would fall off the edge!
Isaiah 40:22And him who sits on the sphere of The Earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretched out the Heavens like a vaulted bowl, and stretched them out as a tent for a dwelling. Many people in biblical times knew the earth was a sphere.
Time to rethink your thesis, if there are foals below the boundry, and none above, what that really means is that the dinosaurs died before the asteroid struck. If the asteroid killed them , then there would be fossils in the boundary and just above, as all the iridium would have fallen on the dead animals, other would have died on top of the boundary. Think about it and come up with a better hypothesis.
Wrong. Yes, the dinosaur fossils below the K-Pg boundary (which is how the K-T boundary is now called) were animals that died before the impact. But in fact there are only very little remains of animals that died because of the impact, for instance the Tanis site in the Hell Creek formation. Fossilization generally is a very rare process. So at most places where you can find the iridium layer you won't find fossils (dinos or others) at all.
Meanwhile, crocodiles: ah, another extinction. OK.
Pssst... actually it was a massive nuclear detonation by lizards just like on Mars but don't tell.
Giant Lizards!
This literally fell ai generated
This is no different than being on a road trip and having sworn you saw the same billboard 130 miles before. Redundant at best
Noway is this a recreation of what happened 65 million years ago
Ya know whats really sad , dinos were originally on mars , they came to earth because they hoped it would lessen the odds of a catastrophe making them extinct. 😅😅😅
Noah’s flood wiped them all out. No asteroid. 0:38
Why is it that everytime a video about a scientific topic is released the comment section is flooded by clueless know-nothings who want to blather about their preferred religious myth? A myth no less that is really stupid and can be refuted just by a tiny bit of consideration.
Agree to disagree, Brian. Let's not make an issue of it on a KZhead forum.
@@7inrain If you knew your science and history you'd know the dinosaurs where wiped out well before biblical times.

@@philipmcdonagh1094 Your comment doesn't make any sense. Of course I know that non-avian dinosaurs went extinct 66 mya and that this happened well before the timeframe of a few thousand years creationists like to engage in. In which way does my previous comment suggest otherwise?
Noah’s flood did it but he saved two of each creature god made
No
Yes
@@renberioso5243 No. If that were the case there would be dinosaur bones above the KT line. Dead animals float.
Imagine how many earth like planets, developed intelligent life that was wiped out and rebuilt over billions of year's. Do you think they call us aliens?

I don't think that happened? I think they were watching mindless dinosaur tv, not exercising, taking drugs and partaking in alcohol abuse, and just lost the willl to live! Sounds kind of familiar?😂Plus, the dinosaurs were too advanced for a meteor to wipe them out. They had invented a giant tennis racket that whalloped the rock back into space.😮 That sounds much more logical to me. Mr Spock said I was the most rational and logical human he had ever met.
Full of ads too
This narrator is so boring ...there are better ones
I didn't hear the speaker quote any scriptures.
Repetitive narration.
UN climate change 🤪
are you trying to tell me EVOLUTION is REAL? NO!
of course it is we can prove that i can hand you a rib and you cants how me shit ....
Noah had two dinosaurs on his ark
This narrator is awful
The earth is flat plane, not a spinning ball. There is no "outer space". "For the pillars of the earth are the Lord's; He has set the circle of the earth upon them." - 1. Book of Samuel 2:8 - Bible 1933/1938
Yes, a book written by bronze age goat herders is definitely more credible than science or your own eyes looking at the Sun disappearing beneath the horizon. You should seek help. Immediately!
Nah Dinos didn't die because of some fucking asteroid. But the climate changes after that..
Agree the ones killed as a direct impact and tsunamis. Then over maybe a year the rest due to no sun. No sun no food and they weren't exactly anorexic animals.
The great flood when God destroyed the earth is what killed the dinosaurs
Are you actually serious?
C'mon, you don't understand reality?
those who cant teach need to stfu and listen
Nope. Not recorded in the bible so did not happen. I think the bible writers would have told us about it. Surely Noah would have noticed and included at least a footnote! It is comforting to have a book that is true and does not change no matter what the evidence shows.
The Dead Sea Scrolls were ancient manuscripts found in 11 caves near Khirbet Qumran. There are other “Lost Books of the Bible”. These are the books not canonized by the Catholic Church. Besides they were transcribed by man which is like playing the game of Telephone.

Job 40:15-24. Behold, Behemoth, 🦕 which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox. Behold, his strength in his loins, and his power in the muscles of his belly. He makes his tail stiff like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together. His bones are tubes of bronze, his limbs like bars of iron. “He is the first of the works of God; let him who made him bring near his sword! For the mountains yield food for him where all the wild beasts play. Under the lotus plants he lies, in the shelter of the reeds and in the marsh. For his shade the lotus trees cover him; the willows of the brook surround him. Behold, if the river is turbulent he is not frightened; he is confident though Jordan rushes against his mouth. Can one take him by his eyes, or pierce his nose with a snare?
@@greenguitarfish congratulations, you have successfully described a sauropod 🤣
No such thing as dinosaurs... They never existed... There is not one real dinosaur bone on the face of the earth... Also the earth is about 6000 years old, and there is nothing on earth older than that... 65,000,000 years ago?!?! 😅😂 Ludicrous...
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Try harder. Good satire requires subtlety.
O yes you were there when it all started 😅
Fake commentary, likely attempting to cast Biblical creationists as ignorant. Even the Bible has descriptions of dinosaurs and dragons. If you go to the Creation Museum, they have the most complete Allosaur skeleton ever found. The timeline is biblically correct, and I hold to it. Carbon 14 confirms a young earth, and we are finding dinosaur soft tissue in the bones of many specimens. Soft stretchy elastic dinosaur tissue could not last millions of years, only a few thousand if it is buried quickly. The fossil record is mostly the graveyard of the global flood.
@@jacopretorius9693 No, but I can read the Bible, and I can count, you should try it sometime...
