The idea is that we were saved by volcanoes, which pushed through the buried surface, pumping out lots of heat and gases that melted the snows and re-formed the atmosphere.

我们认为，是火山救了我们。火山的喷发突破了冰川的封锁，喷涌而出的热量和气体融化了地表的冰雪，使得大气层重新得以改变。

Roughly eight minutes after the impact, the massive amount of vaporized Rock would be rainy back down onto the planet in the form of hot ash and soot that would bury the surface and ignite even more wildfires.

大约在撞击八分钟后，大量蒸发的岩石会以滚烫的火山灰和烟灰的形式回到地球，这将埋葬地表并引发更多的野火。
