I think they died due to the ice age.
What else can I help you with?
Why do you think there are no dinosaurs now explain?
The dinosaurs all died out. A major catastrophe, probably an asteroid impact, caused their extinction.
How does the theory of asteroid impact relate to the extinction of Dinosaurs?
I does not. The asteroid would of had to knock out the entire earth for that to happen. If you think of the facts it is just not possible.
Does an asteroid contribute to extinction?
I believe it does. Scientists think that an asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs.
Walter and luis alvarez think that a large rocky object is what?
Walter and Luis Alvarez proposed the theory that a large rocky object, such as an asteroid or comet, colliding with Earth caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. This theory is known as the Alvarez Hypothesis.
Where do scientists think the asteroid or comet hit the Earth?
Some scientists think that a gigantic asteroid may have hit the Earth where the Gulf of Mexico now is, leading to the extintion of the dinosaurs and many other forms of life because of the global cooling created by the dirt and dust thrown into the atmosphere. Other scientists do not agree with this hypothesis and believe the Gulf of Mexico was formed by the drifting apart of the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates.
What are two differences between comet and an asteroid?
comet is a ball of dirty ice or in other words made of dirty ice and asteroid is a i think a ball of rock or dirt clustered together
What part of speech is the word asteroid?
Some people think the dinosaurs died when an asteroid hit the earth.
Where did the comet that killed the dinosaurs land?
It is widely accepted that one asteroid with a 6 mile diameter crashed in the Yucatan Peninsula, leaving the Chixculub Crater. However, there are some scientists who believe that there were multiple asteroid impacts at the end of the Mesozoic. Possible other craters include the Boltysh in Ukraine, the Silverpit in the North Sea, and the much more controversial Shiva crater in the Indian Ocean. Some scientists believe that the Chixculub impact predated the extinction of the dinosaurs, and that they were actually wiped out by the Shiva impact.
In 1801 astronomers discovered an asteroid between the orbits of mars and Jupiter What did they think it was?
It was believed to be at the time the 1770 comet.
What caused the Copernicus crater?
The Copernicus crater on the moon was formed by a large impact event, likely from an asteroid or comet colliding with the lunar surface. The impact created a circular depression that we see as the crater today.
What do you think happened to the plants and animals living in the area where the comet or asteroid crached?
Well, honey, when a comet or asteroid crashes into an area, it's like a cosmic wrecking ball hitting everything in its path. Plants and animals in the impact zone likely got a front-row seat to the apocalypse. It's a rough day at the office for Mother Nature when a giant space rock decides to drop in unannounced.
What do Walter and Luis Alvarez think think that a large rocky object is?
Walter and Luis Alvarez proposed that a large rocky object that collided with Earth caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. They suggested that this object was an asteroid or comet that struck the planet approximately 66 million years ago, leading to the end of the Cretaceous period.
