What else can I help you with?
Did the breakup of Pangaea have a effect on dinosaur extinction?
No, the breakup of Pangaea occurred long before the mass extinction of dinosaurs. The main factor believed to have caused dinosaur extinction is an asteroid impact that occurred around 66 million years ago.
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.
What are 3 reasons for mass extinction?
Mass extinction could occur due to climate change, an asteroid impact and even a volcanic eruption.
Itmay have crashed into earth and caused a mass extinction a long time ago?
asteroid
Can you contribute to the extinction of a species?
Nope
What may have caused the first mass extinction 65 million years ago?
The leading theory for the first mass extinction 65 million years ago is a catastrophic event such as an asteroid impact. This event is believed to have led to environmental changes that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species.
What could contribute to the extinction of a species?
MAN!
What is one type of catastrophic change that can cause a mass extinction?
One type of catastrophic change that can cause a mass extinction is an asteroid impact. When a large asteroid collides with the Earth, it can release massive amounts of energy, cause widespread destruction, trigger tsunamis and wildfires, and create a global "impact winter" due to the release of dust and debris into the atmosphere. Such an event is believed to have caused the extinction of the dinosaurs 65 million years ago.
What is the object of the prepositional phrase in the sentence One theory about dinosaur extinction is that a huge asteroid or comet hit the earth?
The prepositional phrase is "about dinosaur extinction" and the object is "extinction." The word "dinosaur" is called a "noun adjunct" rather than an adjective.
The last mass extinction of dinosaurs on Earth occurred between which two geologic periods?
asteroid attack
What are the two castrophic events that can cause mass extinction?
Two catastrophic events that can lead to mass extinction are asteroid impacts and volcanic eruptions. Asteroid impacts can cause widespread destruction, altering climate and ecosystems, as seen in the event that contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs. Volcanic eruptions can release vast amounts of ash and gases, leading to climate changes, acid rain, and habitat destruction, which can also drive species to extinction.
Where did the asteroid hit earth?
The asteroid that led to the extinction of the dinosaurs approximately 66 million years ago hit what is now the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico. The impact site is known as the Chicxulub crater.
