Asteroid Causes Dinosaurs Extinction and Big Earthquakes

Bermúdez also found evidence of large earthquakes triggered by the Chicxulub impact in the geological record in Mexico, where he found signs of liquefaction, where the strong shaking caused water-saturated sediments to flow like liquids.

In addition, in Mississippi, Alabama, and Texas, Bermúdez observed faults and fractures that are also likely associated with the large earthquake caused by the Chicxulub impact.

Some of the outcrops also show signs of sediment left by the massive tsunami waves that were also triggered by a large asteroid impact on Earth.
