Ferns quickly grew where all the other plants had died; this is called a fern spike. The climate was probably somewhat cooler for hundreds of years because of remnants of dust from the asteroid impact still floating in the atmosphere. Other than that, the climate was probably similar to before the impact. The surviving animals included most land invertebrates that existed before, as well as birds, mammals, lizards, snakes, amphibians, and crocodilians, and in the ocean, most fish, sharks, and invertebrates survived. It took millions of years for mammals to fill the niches left open by the dinosaurs and other reptiles.

In the future will there be a meteor right and you will all die like the dinosaurs did?

First of all - we don't know for sure that a meteor killed the dinosaurs. There are dozens of theories and no solid proof. Secondly, it's possible.

A meteorite from space that blocked out the sun and made acid rain which poisoned all the plants so herbivores died out, with no food supplies for carnivores they all died out. Good bye Tyrannosaurus Rex.:(

How do you know a meteor wiped outh the dinosaurs?

Well we're not completely sure if that was the cause of the extiction. This is however the most likely theory of extinction. The other theories are volcanoes which expeled carbon dioxide into the atmosphere that made it hard for the dinosaurs and other large animals to breath, a new poisonous plant species that wiped out the dinosaurs, disease and much more. But we do have a lot of evidence of a meteor hitting the Earth, for instance: There is a large crater like hole in the gulf of Mexico, that hole has a samall gravitational pull (which is what they think the reason for the Bermuda Triangle is) and there are minerals and elements that are found in meteors in that area.

When was Earth's moon formed?

Well, some like to think that it was formed as a result of the same ice age that supposedly killed off the dinosaurs but it's impossible to know for sure.


Did dinosaurs evolve into birds before or after a meteor killed all the dinosaurs?

Birds evolved in the late Jurassic Period about 150 to 145 million years ago. This was about 90 to 95 million years before the asteroid impact that marked the K-T extinction event.Just a sub note that most scientist recognise that birds are a specialised branch of the therapod dinosaur. Birds are dinosaurs in the same way cats are mammals.
