How did a single meteor wipe out all the living thing on earth?
Answerboy44
Well, it didn't. It did wipe out between sixty and eighty percent of living species on earth (estimates vary among scientists) but not all, and it did it by the impact of the meteorite throwing an immense cloud of dirt very high into the atmosphere. This darkened the sky for many months (possibly years). The earth turned cold, and photosynthesis slowed dramatically because of reduced light penetration. As the dirt settled out, it created additional havoc among sea creatures. It was "survival of the fittest" in it's most naked terms. The dinosaurs did not survive at all, and many other species - plant and animal - were wiped out or radically diminished by this event.
