Why did many plants die at the end of the Mesozoic?
Based on the popular theory that the dinosaurs went extinct due to the impact of a large asteroid, scientists think that the asteroid caused large amounts of debris to fly into the atmosphere, blocking out the sun. This caused global temperatures to drop, thus freezing the plants. In addition, without the sun the plants could not carry on photosynthesis, which caused them to die.
