Have you ever wondered what your country or city was like at the time of the mass extinction of the dinosaurs And what kind of species of these animals lived where you live today? a novel interactive map of Google He shows it to you to give you an idea of what the area where you live today was like 66 million years ago, when the Chicxulub asteroid, at least 10 kilometers in diameter, impacted our planet Earth.
Its about interactive map of Google called “Ancient Earth Globe” that shows what the Earth was like and how it has changed over 750 million years. This infographic has several tools for users who use it to get an idea of what the planet was like in the past; from the time in which the first reptiles, plants, algae, corals, primates, lived until the mass extinction who killed the dinosaurs.
He interactive map of Google was built using research from Northern Arizona University and spans Earth periods from 750 million years ago (cryogenic era), through the Jurassic era and up to the present day, so that people interacting with the tool of this company realize how the planet has been transformed over the years and how it has evolved.
This is how the interactive Google MAP works
Ancient Earth Globe allows you to click on the different periods of the planet, from the extinction of the dinosaurs until the appearance of the first hominids (the family of primates from which humans derive) to appreciate what the place where you live today looked like millions of years ago, even when the Earth had a single continent known as Pangaea (the supercontinent that then divided into the present continents and that existed 300 million years ago).
to use the interactive map of Google known as Ancient Earth Globe you must enter the website by clicking HERE. Once inside, write the place where you currently live (in this case, Mexico City) so that the tool shows you what the area was like in the past, according to the period you have selected.
This interactive map of Google It allows you to see, for example, what the Earth was like and where you lived in the early Triassic period 240 million years ago, the Jurassic period 170 million years ago, or the Cretaceous period 90 and 105 million years ago. So you can see how at the time, Africa had a huge ocean that was channeled by its northeastern edge, while Australia and Antarctica almost touched.
He map It also shows what the Earth was like when the dinosaurs they were wiped out by a huge asteroid 66 million years ago. By placing the country or city where you live, the rotating 3D globe will show you what that part of the planet was like millions of years ago.
What dinosaurs lived in Mexico at the time of the mass extinction?
He interactive map of Google also lets you know what dinosaurs lived in the area where you live today before the extinction that annihilated them 66 million years ago. In Mexico, there was the Huehuecanauhtlus, a herbivore that lived in the Cretaceous period and inhabited North America. Its fossils have been found in places like CDMX. This species lived 86.3 million years ago and became extinct 83.6 million years ago.
