Did dinosaurs die from an asteroid blast or a volcano eruption?

Indirectly. Earth was hit by a fairly big meteorite, and the impact released a lot of dust into the air. The dust was so bad that it changed the weather, which changed the temperature and the way plants grow, which eventually killed off the dinosaurs.

∙ 14y agoWell,it would be possible but Unlikely.
There are many,many,many different ways that dinosaurs could have died...
1. Some people say that a Asteroid hit Earth and killed the plants so that Plant Eating
(Vegeterian)Dinosaurs would die.Then the Meat Eating(Carnivores)dinosaurs would have no more Plant Eating(Vegeterians)dinosaurs so they would die.
2.Some people say that the temperature changed and killed them all.
There are more...But it is not likely that a Volcano killed the dinosaurs.
An asteroid did come crashing to earth, but it didn't kill the plants. It sent a mass climate change, across the globe, and none of the dinosaurs were adapted enough to handle this sort of change.So because of the loss of food and water, the dinosaurs died out within a matter of weeks. Triceratops, were among the last to die out- being able to store water for up to 3 weeks, and being able to salvage nutrients from whatever plants they could.Wiki User
∙ 13y agoProbaly, yes, or it was a comet but it is almost the same. The dinosaurs died 65 million years ago. In Mexico there is a crater of a comet that hit the earth exatly 65 million years ago. a coincidence, i don't think so.

∙ 11y agoNobody knows exactly how the dinosaurs died. Volcanic eruptions and asteroids are just two of multiple theories.

∙ 11y agoyes, many scientists believe that a asteroid hit Earth when there were no humans and killed all the dinosaurs and then started the age of humans.
Wiki User
∙ 12y agoI'm pretty sure, that the asteroid might have hit one or two, but the majority would have been missed.

∙ 11y agoWe don't know for sure. An asteroid is one of many theories.

What is an eruption from the side of the of a volcano?
An eruption from the side of a volcano is called a lateral eruption. This usually happens at rift zones where a volcano breaks apart. It is also called a flank eruption. If the volcano is explosive, it may also be called a lateral blast.

What is the dent in the top of a volcano caused by the blast of the eruption?
It is called a volcanic crater or a summit pit.
What is a volcano lateral blast?
A lateral blast is an explosive volcanic eruption the ejects material horizontally to one side rather than vertically as most explosive eruptions do.
Did scientists predict the mount st Helens eruption?
Yes, it was predicted - both generally in years leading up to 1980 and more specifically in the months before the big blast. In the weeks leading up to the Volcano hazard zones were blocked off around the volcano due to an expected eruption. However the scope and exact timing of the eruption were not forseen - hence 57 people lost their lives.

What is a lateral blast?
A lateral blast is also another name for a flank eruption or a lateral eruption. It is a volcanic eruption that takes place on the flanks of a volcano (the side of a volcano) instead of the summit. The flanks give way before any magma is forced out through a conduit which feeds magma to the summit. The features are found on shield volcanoes.

A lateral blast is an explosive volcanic eruption the ejects material horizontally to one side rather than vertically as most explosive eruptions do.
Can a composite volcano form in a pond?
Not really. While there is nothing that would prevent a composite volcano from developing under an area where a pond happens to be, there is no pond big enough to contain a composite volcano. As soon as the volcano starts forming, the first significant eruption would probably fill in or blast away the pond.
