How did the dinosaurs die
There are many theories on how the dinosaurs became extinct over 100 million years ago. The theory that is most common, is the asteroid theory. The asteroid theory proposes the idea that an asteroid hit the earth, reduced levels of sunlight, and dropped temperatures, resulting in plants being unable to grow, the plant eaters dying, and leaving no food for the meat eaters. This theory is like a major chain reaction, wiping out every dinosaur on the planet. Another theory, also with not as much evidence, is the volcanic eruption theory. This theory suggests that a volcano erupted from underground spreading ash into the air, consequently reducing levels of sunlight and dropped temperatures, and like the asteroid theory …show more content…
This theory suggests that the volcano erupted, causing ash and dust to stay in the air for years, resulting in reduced sunlight, consequently dropping temperatures. Due to lack of sunlight and dropped temperatures, and like the asteroid theory there was not enough sunlight for the plants to grow, wiping out all plant life, therefore leaving no plants for herbivores, and no meat for carnivores. Unlike the asteroid theory, the only evidence supporting the volcanic eruption theory, is that lava was found underground in mass quantities. Even though this is still considered evidence it is far to limited, and is merely a conjecture.
To conclude, the asteroid theory advocates that the volcanic eruption was not equitable, due to lack of evidence. Whereas on the other side, we have the asteroid theory, which has multiple accurate readings of evidence, which blindly states that asteroid theory has more potential of being correct, than the volcanic theory. Both theories have enough evidence to be believable, but the asteroid theory has the most authentic evidence. Even though these theories are believable, the real answer, of how the dinosaurs became extinct, is still a foggy mystery of the
