  3. because there are many reasons


  4. Because  

  5. because it's part of life and extinction is part of existence  

  6. Dinosaurs became extinct about 65 million years ago.

    A number of explanations have been suggested to explain their disappearance including food shortage or dramatic change in climate.

    However, the most accepted hypothesis is that a large asteroid, probably several miles in diameter, struck the Earth hitting so hard that it actually vaporized tons of rock, soil and other things in its path.  The dust and debris that was stirred blocked out much of the sunlight for possibly months or years.  This, of course, killed off a lot of plants.  Without plants, plant eating dinosaurs began to die off. Without plant- eating dinosaurs, meat eating dinosaurs didn't have much to eat, so they died off.

    This hypothesis is supported by the fact that fossil records show that many plants died off at the same time the dinosaurs did.

    Another piece of evidence in support of the hypothesis is that the element iridium, which is very rare on Earth but more common in asteroids, has been found in higher than normal amounts in rock sediments that were formed during the same period the dinosaurs became extinct..


  7. Because of an asteroid impact 65 million years ago!

  8. due to global warming

  9. Its the circle of life. As for how they died, no one knows yet.

  10. because of the weather, food, or something

  11. Because a big comet fall in Earth, it happened a thermo-nuclear explosion and change the climate.  The climate became very hostile to dinosaurs. None of these dinosaurs survived. They gave the leading place to the mammals.

  12. b/c your an idiot

    jkjk it's b/c they summoned meteors

  13. Ok, I have to admit. I've heard a lot of funny explanations for the dinosaurs extinction, but "Noah's flood" is one of the funniest! Its also one of the most absurd seeing as humans weren't around when the dinosaurs were alive, and there was no flood.

    But on the serious note, currently the most accepted theory for the extinction of dinosaurs is an asteroid impact that shrouded the world in dust, blocking a lot of the sun's rays. Plants started to die, so herbivores had nothing to eat, and herbivores died, and eventually carnivores had nothing to eat. Well, there's more to it than that. Life just started to go corrupt and in that period, many animals and plants besides the dinosaurs went extinct.
