The mineralogy of the rocks determines how deadly a meteorite impact is - Tech Explorist
Meteorites have bombarded the earth throughout its long history. Scientists analyzed 44 impacts over the past 600 million years. For this, they used a new method: assessing the mineral content of the dust ejected into the atmosphere upon impact.
They found that meteorites hitting rocks rich in potassium feldspar always correspond with a mass extinction episode, irrespective of size.
