Iridium is a very rare element in Earth's crust, however rocks that have an age equal to that of the K-T boundary are significantly enriched in iridium. It is theorised that this enrichment is due to the impact of an asteroid with Earth (as asteroids are rich in iridium and the resultant massive explosion spread iridium enriched debris all over the world). This asteroid impact is thought to have been a significant event in the mass extinction even that wiped out the dinosaurs.
This is known as the Alverez hypothesis. For more information, please see the related link.

Using the kinetic theory explain why the pressure of a gas increases when the temperature increases?
When the temperature of a gas increases, the Kinetic Energy of the particles increases. This means that they move faster and apply a greater force when they collide with the walls of the container. As pressure is the force per unit area on the container, the pressure increases. This is Gay-Lussac's "Pressure Temperature" Law: "P = kT".
Element traced to the extinction of the dinosaurs?
The element that has been linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs is iridium. High levels of iridium have been found in sediment layers around the world from the time of the dinosaur extinction, suggesting that it may have come from an asteroid impact.
What evidence of the KT boundary in Colorado has been discovered by researchers?
Researchers have found evidence of the KT boundary in Colorado, including a layer of sediment containing high levels of iridium, shocked quartz, and microtektites. These materials are characteristic of the impact event that caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs.

Yes, 14 kt (karat) gold is considered to be of higher purity than 10 kt gold. Specifically, 14 kt gold contains 58.3% pure gold, while 10 kt gold contains only 41.7% pure gold. Therefore, 14 kt gold is more valuable and has a richer gold color compared to 10 kt gold.
