the why question

Why did dinosaurs go extinct?


There are many theories as to why dinosaurs became extinct. One of the most famous theories is the one that blames an asteroid for the extinction of the creatures. another theory is that there was a big flood that came and drowned the dinosaurs. Another theory is that there was a change in the Earth's atmosphere that effected the dinosaurs breathing patterns. There are many more however these are the one's that are most popular.


The experts on this subject are called paleontologists. A paleontologist is a scientist who studies paleontology(learning about the forms of life that existed in former geologic periods)mainly by studying fossils.

The pros of knowing what actually happened is so there can be one set idea/reason for the disappearance of all the dinosaur species. Also another pro is that there aren't any dinosaurs around today that could possibly cause humans harm. However this can also be considered a con because we can experience these majestic creatures for our selves and are only allowed to dream and imagine about what they were really like.
