Dinosaurs

The plates of the earth, all of the continents moved, bumped into each other, and apart.

Indirectly. Earth was hit by a fairly big meteorite, and the impact released a lot of dust into the air. The dust was so bad that it changed the weather, which changed the temperature and the way plants grow, which eventually killed off the dinosaurs.

During the Late Cretaceous there was a warm global climate with ice-free poles. About one-third of the earth's present land area was submerged, allowing heat from the sun to be distributed farther poleward by ocean currents and producing a climate in which cold-blooded reptiles existed worldwide. Fossil ferns and cycads found in Cretaceous arctic rock are similar to plants growing today in subtropical rain forests.

I believe you are referring to sauropods, which were quadrupedal, herbivorous, long necked dinosaurs. There were many different species from different times and places. Every continent had its own types of sauropods, and they lived in habitats ranging from desert or planes with scattered forests, to denser subtropical and even subarctic forests.

The size of a dinosaur that is pink would vary depending on the species. Dinosaurs came in different sizes ranging from a few feet to over 100 feet long. A pink dinosaur could theoretically be any size depending on what type of dinosaur it is.

The largest herbivorous dinosaur was the Argentinosaurus. This dinosaur lived during the Late Cretaceous period and could reach lengths of up to 100 feet and weigh up to 100 tons. It is considered one of the largest land animals to have ever existed.

Dinosaur bones are made of hard, durable material like calcium phosphate, which is more resistant to decay than the soft tissue of jellyfish. Jellyfish are composed mainly of water and soft tissues that decompose quickly, making it harder for them to fossilize. The conditions needed for fossilization, such as rapid burial and protection from scavengers, are more likely to occur for hard, mineralized bones than soft-bodied organisms like jellyfish.

The dinosaurs died probably 65 million years ago. There are many different suggestions as to why they died out. Most scientists think that a massive change in the atmospheric system including a cloud of dust probably created by a volcanic eruption, and that was probably created by a 5 mile long asteroid that headed for earth 65 million years ago! and i mean this is the best answer you could get.

Those were just theories, but now scientists have discovered a huge crater that is expected to have been formed 65 million years ago. The shock wave it created is believed to have been powerful enough to wipe out most life in it's radius. Considering that the land on earth was very close together at the time, it is easily understandable why there are so many fish that seemed to have survived that blast.

The dinosaur with a three-horned face is called Triceratops. It had a large horn on its nose and two smaller horns above its eyes, making it a distinctive herbivorous dinosaur from the late Cretaceous period.

The spinosaurus was the largest carniverous dinosaur. It is called spinosaurus because of the fin on its bag. This dinosaur was a water dwelling dinosaur that was hunted by the largest crocodile that ever lived.

The mass extinction event that killed the dinosaurs is believed to have been caused by a large asteroid impact that occurred around 66 million years ago. This impact resulted in a catastrophic chain of events, including widespread wildfires, tsunamis, and a nuclear winter-like effect caused by dust blocking out sunlight, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs and many other species.

Some examples of rainforest omnivores include orangutans, sloths, and raccoons. These animals have a diet that consists of both plant matter and animal protein, allowing them to adapt to the varied food sources found in their rainforest habitats.

compsognathus is the smallest dinosaur and is the size of a chicken, but palaeontologists have just discovered 'micropachycephalosaurus' which might be even smaller and has the longest name of any dinosaur so far!

Dinosaur fossils have been found throughout human history, but they have never been called dinosaurs or fossils. People thought they were the bones of dragons.

The true investigation of dinosaurs began around 1840 when a woman found a large tooth in the ground. It was the tooth of an Iguanodon ("iguana tooth")

The end of the Silurian period and the beginning of the Devonian period was not defined by an extinction event, but by the distinctive rock formations of the period. As a result the end of the Silurian period is uncertain by +/- 2.8 million years.

Yes, it is possible to find dinosaur fossils in rocks that are 250 million years old because dinosaurs lived during the Mesozoic Era, which began around 252 million years ago. Fossils of early dinosaurs or their relatives could potentially be found in rocks from this time period.

No. Some, most dinosaurs were herbivores. Only the theropods were carnivores.

Dinosaurs were thought to have evolved about 230 million years ago. Traditionally they are thought to become extinct 65.5 million years ago in the K-T Extinction event but recent findings have lead scientist to start to consider birds as avian dinosaurs so one could say dinosaurs never ended.

Many of the world's most iconic dinosaurs were first discovered in Montana. Some of Montana's dinosaurs include:
Tyrannosaurus
Triceratops
Deinonychus
Maiasaura
Hypacrosaurus
Ankylosaurus
Daspletosaurus
Torosaurus
Allosaurus
Apatosaurus
Zephyrosaurus
Montanaceratops
Avaceratops
Troodon
Tenontosaurus
Saurornitholestes
Stegosaurus
Einiosaurus
Achelousaurus
Albertosaurus
Edmontosaurus
Corythosaurus

The earliest Dinosaurs yet discovered were found in South America. But when Dinosaurs first appeared, all the modern continents hadn't formed. All the land was bunched up in one giant continent called Pangea. That is where the Dinosaurs evolved. The continent has since broke up, into the 7 continents of today, through a process know as continental drift.

Dinosaurs became extinct around 65 million years ago during the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event. It is believed that a combination of climate change, asteroid impact, and volcanic activity contributed to their extinction.

The smallest dinosaur was once Compsognathus, but has been overtaken by newer discoveries, Micropachycephalosaurus is among the smallest of the dinosaurs now, despite having the longest name. Wannanosaurus could also be one of the smallest.

Currently the smallest known non-avian dinosaur was a small feathered carnivore called Anchiornis. If you include birds, which are now classified as dinosaurs, the smallest would be the bee hummingbird.

Birds are considered the living ancestors of dinosaurs. Modern birds evolved from a group of two-legged dinosaurs known as theropods, which also included the iconic Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor. Birds share many similar traits with their dinosaur ancestors, such as hollow bones and feathers.

The smallest dinosaur known is the Parvicursor remotus, which was ony 12 to 15 inches long and is estimated to have weighed 4.8 and 5.7 ounces. Parvicursor was a tiny, bipedal feathered theropod dinosaur. It was an Alvarezsaurid, so it only had a single finger, with a claw. It may have used that claw to dig into termite mounds. To escape predators, they would have run quite fast.
