How did the dinosaurs die??

Question

How does the Deccan Traps eruption link with Luis Alvarez's theory? Thanks in advance!!

Answer 1

Asteroid , Yucatan Peninsula

Answer 2

They didnt die. Some are still living with their body stuffed.

Answer 3

Look, the dinosaurs died due to a bloody big meteor crashing into the ocean which blasted seven shades of **** out of the earths atmosphere.  No vegetation could grow, therefore almost all except the hardiest animal life became extinct.  As the dinosaurs were very specialist organisms like ourselves, they all perished.

Answer 4

it was the americans wot did it  guv !!!

Answer 5

There are many theories of how Dinosaurs died out. But I shall tell you the most popular theories.

Probably the most popular theory right now is the Asteroid Theory. According to this theory a large asteroid or comet collided with Earth about 65 million years ago. Scientists think that such a large collision would throw so much dust into the air that sunlight would not be able to shine and plants and animals would die. The dramatic changes in climate that resulted from this huge collision were too much for the dinosaurs. They were not able to survive.

   Another theory that could explain how the dinosaurs became extinct is volcanic activity. A huge increase in volcanic activity at around 65 millions years ago could have pumped so much ash into the air that it blocked out the sun killing the dinosaurs.

     Some scientists believe that there was a severe ice age. Throughout Earth's history there have been many ice ages. The last one ended about 10,000 years ago. A very severe ice age could have changed temperatures and frozen a lot of Earth's water. The dinosaurs would not be able live under such conditions and that is how the dinosaurs became extinct.

Answer 6

Maybe they died in the flood

Answer 7

When Jurassic park finished.

Answer 8

It is well established that a very large meteor hit the earth at about the same time as the dinosaurs became extinct and that also over 1,000,000cubic kilometres of lava was released in the Deccan Traps at about the same time.

Basically the meteor theory (=nuclear winter) would mean dinosaurs died out almost over night and the Deccan Traps theory (=global warming) would mean they died over many thousands of years.  So far the length of time the extinction took is not definitely established so no clear winner yet.

Answer 9

apart from the recognised theory, ask yourself this: what caused the last Ice Age to melt, could it be man made global warming, if so I would like to meet one of these men!!!

Answer 10

no one truly know, because no witness. but, how ever   scientist predict that they were died as natural victim like eruption,falling asteroids,ext

Answer 11

Small mammals ate their eggs.

Answer 12

A large meteor that hit Mexico was the coup de grace for them. It caused tremendous shock waves for some distance and filled the air with debris that created a winter effect. since dinosaurs cannot stand that as well as mammals can, they died out. There were other things happening before the meteor arrived that wetre killing dinosurs and other reptiles more slowly. One was increased volcanic activity that had a smaller similar effect.

Answer 13

Too much drinking and smoking and not enough exercise.

Answer 14

LIES

Obviously it was Baldric's unspeakably smells underwear which finished them off.
