how did the dinosaurs die?

There are dozens of theories to explain a probable cause or causes. Throughout the Mesozoic Era, individual dinosaur species were evolving and becoming extinct for various reasons. The unusually massive extinction at the end of the Cretaceous exterminated the last of the dinosaurs, the flying reptiles, and the large swimming reptiles, as well as many other marine animals. There is now widespread evidence that a meteorite impact was at least the partial cause for this extinction. Impact craters are visible on most planets in our solar system. A spectacular example of this was witnessed in 1994, when Jupiter was struck by a series of cometary fragments. Some of these impact blasts were larger than the Earth's diameter. Other factors such as extensive release of volcanic gases, climatic cooling (with related changes in ocean currents and weather patterns), sea-level change, low reproduction rates, poison gases from a comet, or changes in the Earth's orbit or magnetic field may have contributed to this extinction event.

On the other hand, my Grandpa also told me that he shot all of the dinosaurs with his 12-gauge shotgun. I don't know if you will believe that...but it's your choice.

Usually laying down. Hard to stand up when you're dead.

Some say a meteor, but there is strong evidence that it didn't kill them off totally immediately, and they lived on another few million years beyond the impact event. Could have been global warming or cooling afterwards, though. Hard to say.

Well, according to Gary Larson (cartoonist), it was because they were always hiding and smoking cigarettes out by the rocks when nobody was looking.

i have heard that there was this huge meteroroid that hit the earth and some how they starved to death or died instantly.

idk for sure though i know for sure that a meteroid hit the earth!

~hope this helps!~

i tend to lean to meteor seeing how so many fossils are found in solid rick

there are many different theories. look it up.

I killed them!!
