Theropod dinosaurs are known from all continents. They first evolved in Pangaea 225 million years ago before the continents broke up, and hence they lived on all continents until their extinction 65.5 million years ago.
Yes, theropods are meat eating dinosaurs.
Jurassic theropods were generally larger and more diverse compared to Triassic theropods. They also exhibited more specialized features for hunting, such as sharper teeth and stronger limbs. Additionally, Jurassic theropods were part of more complex ecosystems with a wider variety of prey animals.

True. Tyrannosaurus rex, Coelophysis, and Allosaurus are examples of theropods.
All meat eating dinosaurs were theropods. Although most theropods were carnivorous, a few were omnivorous or herbivorous.
Toothless theropods would probably be birds. Many scientists consider birds to be theropod dinosaurs which have beaks instead of teeth.
Theropods were the killers of the dinosaur world, for exampe tyrannosaurus rex was a theropod. Other examples are Coelophysis, Ornithomimus and Dilophosaurus.
All ancestors of the dinosaurs, including those of Ankylosaurus, are extinct. The closest living relatives of Ankylosaurus and other dinosaurs are the birds. Birds evolved from small, feathered, arborial theropods. Theropods were bipedal dinosaurs with three toes on each foot, and most were lizard-hipped carnivores.
Some dinosaurs believed to be scavengers include the theropods like Tyrannosaurus rex and Allosaurus, which had powerful jaws and strong teeth suited for tearing through flesh. Additionally, smaller theropods, such as Troodon, may have scavenged as part of their diet. Evidence from fossilized remains suggests that these dinosaurs opportunistically fed on carcasses when live prey was scarce. While many theropods were primarily hunters, scavenging likely played a role in their survival strategies.
The four biggest theropods are as followed. 1-Spinosaurus 2-Giganotosaurus 3-Carcharodontosaurus/T-Rex are currently tied for third place. 4- Allosaurus
All carnivorous dinosaurs were theropods, but a few theropods were omnivores. Examples of a few carnivorous dinosaurs include Spinosaurus, Tyrannosaurus, Allosaurus, Ceratosaurus, Dromaeosaurus, and Troodon.
