Question

which of the following is not considered evidence that large meteors struck earth in the past? the discovery of large craters mass extinctions that cannot be explained by terrestrial events a globally distributed layer of iridium between the fossil assemblages of adjacent strata high co2 levels in the atmosphere in certain eras the presence of soot, probably from forest fires, found in deposits

Explanation:

Large craters can be formed by meteor - impacts. Mass extinctions with no terrestrial explanations may be due to meteor strikes. Iridium is rare on Earth's surface but common in meteorites, so its global layer can be evidence. Soot from forest fires caused by meteor - impact heat is also evidence. High CO2 levels in the atmosphere in certain eras can be due to many terrestrial processes like volcanic activity and are not specific to meteor impacts.

Answer:

High CO2 levels in the atmosphere in certain eras
