There were a lot of different kinds of dinosaurs that died off at various times. However, pretty much the final curtain was something called the K-T Event, which marked the end of the Mesozoic Era and the beginning of the Cenozoic Era. It's thought that a large meteorite (perhaps 10-40 km diameter) struck the Earth, resulting in climate changes which most dinosaurs were unable to adapt to.

The K-T Event happened roughly 65 million years ago.

It is believed that they did die of a meteor but no one is really positive. If they did die of a meteor than the rest probably died from all the dust in the air after the crash. Some aquatic dinosaurs did survive though that is why their are crocodiles,komodo dragons,turtles,etc...(which evolved from these dinosaurs.)

No, not all at once. Throughout the 150 million year "reign" of the dinosaurs, all kinds of groups of dinosaurs have flourished then died out.

However, the final blow to the dinosaurs that caused them all to die out was the K-T mass extinction that occurred 65 million years ago.

Why are dinosaurs extinct because of plants?

Dinosaurs did not die out because of plants. They died out because of a lack of plants after an asteroid impact blocked out sunlight for months or years. With all the plants dead, the dinosaurs starved.
