Have you ever wondered how dinosaurs became extinct? If you have then this article is the one for you. There are many different hypothesis about how they went extinct.
A Meteor Crash
One hypothesis states that a meteoroid crashed into earth. Due to it the climate on the earth might have changed drastically.
Dinosaurs might have gone extinct from this if they weren’t able to adapt to the weather changes fast enough. There is proof of this theory, scientists have found a crater that is 124 miles long and 2,500 feet deep.
Stolen Dino Eggs
Another hypothesis is that when the Cretaceous period ended (65.5 million years ago) mammals competed with dinosaurs for the dinosaurs eggs to eat so when all these eggs were gone the dinosaurs slowly faded away.
Climate Change
Another hypothesis that dinosaurs became extinct was that a climate change at the end of the cretaceous period possibly caused by one big volcano eruption. how did that affect all the dinosaurs?
Well during the end of the Jurassic period and the start of the Cretaceous period all of the seven continents we have today were one gigantic continent. So if one big volcano explosion happened then, it potentially could have effected all of the dinosaurs.
Now are you wondering who’s hypothesis is correct? By now I think you have figured out who’s hypothesis is right but if you still have not figured it out I will tell you the answer. Humans actually do not know which one is correct. All of them have proof and evidence that hint that it could have happened. All of the hypothesis might be correct or all of the hypothesis might be incorrect. My work here is all done. Now it is your turn to decide which hypothesis you think is correct or incorrect. How did the dinosaurs really go extinct?
