Solution?
Ban volcanoes.

How about astroid strikes that caused massive volcanic activity?
Frankly, I think that they all started to believe that they were giving off too much methane, creating global warming, and decided to commit mass suicide to save the planet.
I would think that would be a very good possibility... depending where it hit..
Doesn’t really matter.
Every stage of development of the Earth, from the oxygenation by algae, the era of the conifers, the era of the dinosaurs, etc,
all were for the _purpose_ of making a habital planet for human beings to thrive on and to discover the wonders of God’s universe from.
It is interesting to see how these things unfolded, though.
What's next global flatulation
Where can I buy flood basalt insurance?

This is exactly why people should be ticketed for flatulence— it’s just too dangerous.
India was once an island. Would the volcanic activity have coincided with the landmass colliding with Asia?
I’ve got a better solution. Make countries that have volcanos buy carbon credits from algore’s company.

‘Meteors, volcanoes and floods. Oh, my.’
I’d say, “sure” but, I’m not THAT old.
Or it was just blind luck. LOL!
You paint a lovely picture.
I don’t know in that instance how much of a penetration into the crust much less the outer or inner mantle occurred,, but it would sure seem like stuff would come popping up and out of that general vicinity.

Thanks NormsRevenge! I think there was a recent topic about this, but this bogus explanation goes back at least as far as Dewey M., when Luis Alvarez was still around. |

The Yucatan impact was 112 miles wide and 3000 ft. deep but, that event happened 330,000 yrs before the extinction of the Dinos. It’s likely a later impact effected their extinction according to National Geographic. I’m still going with the multiple cause theory.
