What could have been the reason why the dinosaurs and other marine animals were extinct at the end of the cretaceous periods?

One way that they could have gone extinct was there was a massive asteroid that went through the Earth. It might have made the Gulf of Mexico and went through the other side of the Earth, through India. There was something in the asteroid that made the overall temperature of Earth, drop. Plants were not prepared for the sudden drop of temperature, so the majority of them died. The herbivores couldn't get enough food, so they went extinct. Then the carnivores didn't have herbivores to eat, so they also went extinct.
