One of the common theories of the extinction of dinosaurs is that an asteroid (10km wide) struck the Earth on the tip of the Yucatan Peninsula which as a result, caused huge forest fires, tidal waves, severe storms and the elimination of sunlight.

In addition, the dinosaurs even in their prime, stood no chance of surviving without plants and sunlight therefore they became extinct
