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.
Scientists have found a huge underwater crater in Mexico that they believe could be linked to the extinction of the dinosaurs What event 65 million years ago most likely caused this crater?
The event that was marked by an asteroid hitting the Earth 65.5 million years ago near modern day Chixulub in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico is known as the K-T or Cretaceous-Tertiary Extinction Event.
Dinoursaurs lived on earth for approximately how many years?
I think they lived (the dinosaurs) for approximately 165 million years.
Did dinosaurs exist?
Yes. We have ample evidence of the dinosaurs that ruled the world until they became extinct around 65 million years ago. Scientists have found skeletons of many dinosaur species and are constantly adding to the list. It is believed that their extinction was caused by a giant meteorite that came down near Mexico, throwing up debris that circled the globe and caused disastrous short-term climate changes to which the dinosaurs could not adapt. All modern and accepted science indicates that they did exist. There is overwhelming evidence indicating that they did. Some species are represented by modern descendant species (lizards and birds), and some species of fish that existed in the same period have living members in modern times.
Precambrian Paleozoic Cenozoic Mesozoic what occurred just before the current era?
Just before the current era, which is the Cenozoic, the Mesozoic Era occurred. The Mesozoic, often called the "Age of Reptiles," lasted from about 252 to 66 million years ago and is characterized by the dominance of dinosaurs and the appearance of the first mammals and birds. It ended with a mass extinction event, likely caused by an asteroid impact, leading to the extinction of many species, including the dinosaurs. This transition paved the way for the rise of mammals and the eventual development of modern ecosystems in the Cenozoic Era.
Did humans appear 60million years after the dinosaurs were extinct?
The earliest member of the human genus evolved 63.2 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs. Modern humans didn't evolve until 65.3 million years after the extinction of the dinosaurs.
What is the name for the modern era which began approximately 65 million years ago with the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
The modern era that began approximately 65 million years ago with the mass extinction of the dinosaurs is called the Cenozoic Era.
What is the name for the modern era which began approximately 65 million years ago the mass extinction of the dinosaurs?
Cenozoic
How many years do dinosaurs exist?
Well, for starters, dinosaurs first came to the earth around 280 million years ago, they were wiped of the face of the earth around 65 million years ago. Technically speaking, they have lived for a total of 215 million yeas ago.
When did dinosaurs disappear from earth?
It is impossible to fix the dinosaurs' extinction to a specific year for several reasons:There were no intelligent animals alive at the time of the dinosaurs, and so there were no calendars and no record keeping.Even though dinosaurs are thought to have become extinct due to a single cataclysmic event, the actual extinction process itself likely took place over several years, decades, or even centuries.Even if the extinction was confined to a single year, there is currently no means to date the extinction event that precisely.
From what dinosaur did cats evolve?
Cats did not evolve from dinosaurs. Cats evolved from a common ancestor of modern carnivores, which lived after the extinction of dinosaurs.
Did dinosaurs evolve into birds before or after a meteor killed all the dinosaurs?

How long ago where dinosaurs around?
Depending on the species, dinosaurs were around anytime between about 230 million years go to about 65 million years ago. However, if birds are included as dinosaurs, as they are by most paleontologists, then dinosaurs are still around to this day. A young earth Creationist would say that dinosaurs were created on Day 6 of God's creation. Man was created on Day 6 as

Do dinosaur exists?
Yes. The more "popular" dinosaurs of the Mesozic period, like T.rex, Velociraptor and Triceratops, are now extinct and all that exists of them today are fossils. However, living dinosaurs (or at least their descendants) do currently exist. Modern day birds are theropod dinosaurs. Birds are the only dinosaurs to survive the mass extinction, 65 million years ago.
How many dinosaurs were living o n earth 1 million years ago?
No dinosaurs were living on earth one million years ago, as all dinosaurs are thought to have gone extinct 65,000,000 years ago. However some dinosaurs are thought to have evolved into modern birds and other such creatures
