Did apes evolve from dinosaurs?

No, apes did not evolve from dinosaurs. Apes belong to a different evolutionary line known as the hominids, which diverged from the lineage of dinosaurs millions of years ago. Dinosaurs became extinct around 65 million years ago, while apes evolved later, branching off from a shared ancestor with monkeys around 25 million years ago.


Why do birds not have teeth if they are a form of dinosaur?

Birds evolved from dinosaurs that lost their teeth as they adapted to a herbivorous or omnivorous diet. Over time, their beaks became specialized for feeding on seeds, fruits, and insects, eliminating the need for teeth. This evolutionary change allowed birds to become more efficient and successful in their ecological niche.


Who really killed the dinosaur?

It is not a "who" but a what that killed off the dinosaurs. It is thought that an asteroid hit the earth causing a prolonged winter which killed off all the plants so they starved to death and died.


Do calderas form into lakes?

No. Calderas form when a volcano produces an extremely massive eruption and collapses in on itself. But the volcano will often continue to erupt after this. For example, the volcano Krakatoa formed a caldera in 1883, but eruptions since then have formed a new island that is currently very active. There is evidence that the volcano has done such a thing several times.
