Describe how the meteorite collision at the end of the Mesozoic affected the atmosphere and the biosphere?

The meteorite collision at the end of the Mesozoic era caused significant changes in the atmosphere by releasing immense amounts of debris and gases that led to global cooling and darkening of the skies, disrupting photosynthesis and causing mass extinctions. The biosphere was greatly impacted as the sudden environmental changes wiped out around 75% of all species, including dinosaurs, and allowed for the rise of new species and ecosystems in the following Cenozoic era.


How did the meteorite collision at the end of the Mesozoic affected the atmosphere and the biosphere?

The meteorite collision at the end of the Mesozoic era led to widespread fires, dust, and debris in the atmosphere, resulting in a significant temperature drop and altered sunlight reaching the Earth's surface. This caused a mass extinction event, including the extinction of the dinosaurs and about 75% of all species, leading to significant changes in the Earth's biosphere and ecosystem dynamics.
