Washington: The biggest threat to the Earth is meteorite. Thousands of meteorites are roaming. But all of them cannot bring havoc on earth. But there is a meteorite that has made scientists the most worried. The name of this meteorite is Benanu. Its width is 500 meters. At the same time, NASA has a sample, in which scientists have got the major components of life. According to scientific calculations, it is likely to hit the earth 1 time out of 2,700 in the year 2182. This is the possibility that a coin should be thrown 11 times and every time the same results are found. This is the reason that this collision is considered very rare. But scientists have now discovered what will be the results if it collides with the earth.

Researchers have found that its collision will cause earthquakes and tsunamis. With this collision, millions of tons of dust will reach the space. This dust will be so much that sunlight will also be difficult on earth. Because of this, two years of cold will fall on the planet. The world will become cold and dry. Global temperature will fall by 4 degrees Celsius. Apart from this, there will be a decrease of 15 percent in global rainfall. Researchers at Pusan ​​National University in South Korea used supercomputer and state -of -the -art climate simulation. In some areas of North America, rainfall will be reduced between 30-60 percent. That is, the yield of crops will be almost impossible.

Will it be lost like dinosaurs?
According to Dr. Lan Dai, the lead writer of this research, it can create a big food crisis in the world. Chiksulb Esteroid collision was eliminated dinosaurs on Earth. But Bennu’s collision will not eliminate the organisms on a large scale. It is believed that Bennu-shaped estoroids collide with the Earth every 100,000-200,000 years. Therefore, there is a possibility that our early ancestors have already survived the end of any of these space rock. But it is certain that the climate change will be triggered on a large scale.

Ozone layer will be damaged
Bennu’s collision will lead to the same devastation as it is imagined to be after a nuclear attack. Dr. Dai and other study authors believe that 100 to 400 million tonnes of dust will remain above the Earth for almost two years. Eurasia and North America will see the most terrible cold. Additionally, researchers estimate that there will be massive drought in many parts of the world due to disruption in the pattern of evaporation over the oceans. Apart from this, the dust coming out of Bennu’s collision will damage the ozone layer. Due to this, there will be a risk of weakening of the ozone layer by 32 percent.
