North America Hit Hard By Asteroid Strike In Yucatan 65 Million Years Ago

anet at 90-degree angles, or from directly overhead. But such vertical impacts are very rare.

An oblique angle of impact may have more deadly global consequences than a vertical impact, because an oblique impact should release a greater fraction of impact energy to the atmosphere and surface target, said Schultz and D'Hondt.

"The study also underscores the point that regional repercussions can be expected from an Earth-object impact, something scientists have rarely considered in previous studies of this 65-million-year-old event," D'Hondt said.
