Were the dinosaurs in Jurassic Park depicted accurately?
No, sadly they were not. We now know that dinosaurs (most of them) had feathers, like the Velociraptor. We found out because many feathers were found in amber from 75 to 80 million years ago during the Cretaceous era, with evidence that they were from both dinosaurs and birds.
Where could dinosaurs be found?
Pfft, all over the world really, but I've read something about a "history" line in rocks. Apparently, fossils of dinosaurs can only be found below that line. Take Drumheller, Alberta, for example. The rock formations have lines on them. Many dinosaurs have been found in similar rock formations. It is rare to find any higher up on the rock. Most "rock" formations dinosaurs are found in aren't really solid rock, but sedimentary dust and debris piled up over the years(and years...and years...). So unless the fossil had been exposed a few decades ago, but then had dust and debris pile up on it for a short time, dinosaurs can usually be found in lower canyon-like rock formations. (I'm no expert, but I have been very interested in dinosaurs and over the years have collected quite a bit of information.)
How many years were the dinosaurs alive?

scientists don't know if an asteroid killed the dinosaurs it is just a guess the dinosaurs died 65 million years ago
How many dinosaurs are in all?
Nobody knows how many dinosaurs there are because we don't know if we've found them all. There could be hundreds or even thousands of species of dinosaur that we haven't found!
