Post Description

Hypercane:
A severe form of hurricane, hypercanes can be as much as 20 miles high, puncturing into the stratosphere, and creating 500 mile an hour winds. When the asteroid that scientists predict caused the extinction of the dinosaurs hit the ocean near the Yucatan peninsula, the heat and steam that were produced may have caused the formation of a hypercane.

Some scientists believe that it may not have been the asteroid impact itself that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs, but the severe weather that resulted from the impact. Although there is still no concrete evidence of the existence of one or more hypercanes during the ends of the Cretaceous period, scientists feel that as they learn more about hurricane behavior today, the better they can determine if an hypercane happened in our past, or if one may happen again in our future. Perhaps one of the biggest concerns would not be from the storm itself, but from the resulting damage to Earth's ozone layer, leaving our planet exposed to lethal solar radiation.
