It has been speculated that the mass extinction of dinosaurs was caused by an asteriod, however there is not enough evidence collected to support this. It is still argued possible though.

The earth been destroyed by a asteroid?
No, if the Earth was destroyed by an asteroid we would not be living today.
What is the Size of the asteroid that killed the dinosaurs?
The meteorite that killed the dinosaurs was roughly 10 km (6.2 mi) in diameter. [3 internet sources]
What can you infer from studying the depths and diameters of craters on the moon?
You can calculate how large and how fast the asteroid was that caused the crater. You can work out when the impacts occured and get a rough idea of what space debris there has been and how it might have changed over time.
How small can a asteroid be?
An asteroid is a rocky object in space. It may be a broken part of a planet. The smallest observed asteroids are 10 meters in size . There may be many asteroids smaller than this but they can not be detected yet and also have not been observed yet.
What type of asteroid is Abai?
There is no specific asteroid named "Abai" that is widely recognized or recorded in scientific literature. It is possible that "Abai" may refer to a fictional asteroid or a lesser-known one that has not been extensively studied or categorized.
Where is the worlds largest crater caused by asteroid?
Many of the large (astroblemes) craters have been eroded by weathering over time so it can be difficult to be sure one was caused by an asteroid. Several large lakes in Canada are thought to be remnants
What causes extinctions?
Extinction is caused by a change in a species environment. The members of a species may not have adaptions that allow them to survive and reproduce in the changed environments. Extiction may also be caused by catastrophic upheavils that perish the entire living matter of that place and if an organism is localized to that region it may get ileminated.
What is the brightest asteroid thaty has been discovered?
The brightest asteroid that has been discovered is called Vesta
What are moon craters How were they formed?
craters are depressions on the moon's surface caused by meteoric or asteroid impact. another theory is that it may have been caused by volcanic explosions but meteoric impacts are the major reason the craters.
The earth been destroyed by a asteroid?
No, if the Earth was destroyed by an asteroid we would not be living today.
How did Uranus get on its side?
Most scientist say there could have been a collision with an asteroid when it was late forming causing it to go on its side.
Has the earth been hit by an asteroid?
Yes. An asteroid probably hit Siberia, in Russia, in June 1908.
What is the name of the asteroid that had its own moon?
The first confirmed case of an asteroid orbiting another asteroid is the asteroid Ida which is orbited by a smaller asteroid orbiting it called Dactyl; other asteroid moons have been found since.
Do you think something could have been done to stop dinosaur extinction?
If humans had lived back then and had prepared, one of two things could have been done:We may have been able to deflect the asteroid before it reached Earth. Over the distances of space that an asteroid travels, even a small deflection would have caused it to miss Earth.Another option would have been keeping large amounts of dinosaur DNA preserved, and a few individuals in captivity, with plenty of food for them stored, or by growing food under electric lights. After the catastrophe was over, they could have bred the captive dinosaurs and introduced the stored DNA regularly to keep the gene pool healthy until the dinosaur population recovered.
What could have caused curve B to be different from curve A?
an enzyme could have been added to reaction b
How lo how long ago did dinosaurs have been ded?
It is said that Dinosaur's died because of an Asteroid hit that changed the climate.The Dinosaur's could not bare the climate.
