    Chapter 13 Dinosaurs

    Uploaded by

    Lê Anh Huy
    An asteroid impact theory explains the extinction of dinosaurs, where a huge asteroid hit Earth around 65 million years ago, covering the planet in debris that blocked the sun for months and caused food shortages that dinosaurs ultimately died from. Evidence for this includes scientists finding the same iridium layers in rock dating back 65 million years that are also found with dinosaur fossils. While the asteroid theory best explains their extinction, some debate remains open to other possible theories for dinosaurs' demise.
