New theory giant meteorite split continents by the los Angeles times san Francisco a scientists on wednesday proposed a radically new View of historic geology that challenges accepted theories about glacial erosion and could imply that Earth weathered Only one ice age instead of Many. Armed with controversial evidence of a meteorite strike 250 million years ago Michael r. Rampino of new York University and Verne r. Oberbeck of Nasa Ames research Center in Menlo Park Calif., made their Case at a meeting of the american geophysical Union in san Francisco. The two also hypothesized that the massive meteorite collision could have initiated the gradual breakup of a supercontinent called Gondwanaland into South America Africa and other modern continents. Rare pinot a and Oberbeck a hypothesis could resolve paradoxes that dog traditional theories about repeated ice Ages such As How they apparently occurred during relatively warm periods. Overbeck said a mathematical formula based on the number of craters found on the Moon and other planets in the solar system indicated plenty of opportunities for meteorites to have struck Earth Over the last 2 billion years a far More than the number of meteorites documented by craters. Rampino and Oberbeck argued that the biggest miscalculation by other scientists was that a Glacier caused a mass extinction 250 million years ago at the Boundary of the permian and triassic geologic periods. That was the largest of Many mass extinctions recorded by scientists for a time when about 96 percent of living species Are believed to have been exterminated within a few million years. The two geologists have concluded that event actually was caused by the Impact of a meteorite roughly 12 Miles wide in the Middle of the Southern hemisphere supercontinent Gondwanaland. But the idea was dismissed by Many colleagues. Thomas j. Crowley a Pale climatologist at the applied research corp.
