The extinction of the dinosaurs is primarily attributed to a dramatic change in climate caused by a massive asteroid impact around 66 million years ago. This event led to widespread fires, a "nuclear winter" effect, and a significant drop in temperatures, disrupting ecosystems and food chains. Additionally, volcanic activity in the Deccan Traps may have contributed to long-term climate changes, further exacerbating the survival challenges for dinosaurs. These rapid and severe shifts in weather and habitat ultimately led to their extinction.

How do dinosaurs become extinct due to climate change?
Well it is hypothesized that dinosaurs went extinct because a huge meteor crashed down to Earth. This meteor caused such a huge impact that it sent dust and particles of the Earth to go flying, reflecting and blocking the sun's rays. This caused the climate to go way down and the food source for the dinosaurs must have died because of the new climate. Thus, the dinosaurs didn't have anymore food and died of hunger

Ash and dust covered the sun causing the Ice Age. Secondly, dinosaurs did not eat chocolate (chocolate was not in that time period) They ate other dinosaurs and plants depending on if they were carnivorous or herbivorous.
