Will humans also be wiped out like dinosaurs, what will happen?

It is said aboutdinosaurs thatthey first appeared on Earth about 230 million years ago. After this, these giant creatures ruled this earth for millions of years. But one day 66 million years ago, suddenly an asteroid about 10 kilometers wide fell on Earth and these giant creatures came to an end. Scientists believe that this asteroid fell in the Yucatan Peninsula of mexico today. A huge trench has formed at the place where this meteorite fell. The world knows this trench as the Chicxulub Crater. Now let's come to our real question, if in the future a meteorite as big as that falls on Earth at the same place, will humans also be wiped out like dinosaurs? 

Did all the dinosaurs die?

First of all, when the asteroid hit the Earth like 66 million years ago, the dinosaurs did not come to an end all at once. Immediately after the asteroid hit, only those dinosaurs died who were at the accident site or were so far away from it that they were hit by it. The rest of the big dinosaurs died because of the changes in the earth's environment after the asteroid hit. Even after this, many dinosaurs, who changed themselves with the change in the environment, survived. Crocodiles and big birds are living examples of this. There are many fishes in the depths of the sea, which belong to the dinosaur era and are still alive today.

What will happen if this happens today?

If in today's time a 10 kilometer wide asteroid falls in the Yucatan Peninsula of mexico, where it fell earlier, then the kind of destruction on earth will not be seen, as was seen earlier. There are many reasons behind this. The first reason is that man has become so modern in today's time that he keeps an eye on everything coming towards the earth. That is, if such a big meteorite comes towards the earth, then scientists can adopt many measures to keep it away from the earth.

If this happens, there will be destruction on earth. There will be such a strong earthquake that big cities will turn into ashes. There will be such high waves in the sea that all the cities situated on the seashore will be wiped out. The world will be shaken by volcanic eruptions and the entire earth will be covered with the ash coming out of it. The same thing happened 66 million years ago. It is possible that crores of people may die due to this. But still humans will not be completely wiped out.
