Death of the Dinos SOME DIFFERENT POSSIBLE CAUSES
Death of the Dinos SOME DIFFERENT POSSIBLE CAUSES OF THE FALL OF THE DINOSAURS
Introduction NDinosaur bones were probably found thousands of years ago, Greeks and Romans may have found bones and thought they were mythical creatures’ bones. NFor a long time, scientists have been trying to find the reason why dinosaurs aren’t around anymore. NThere are many theories of why dinosaurs became extinct, but none have yet been proved to definitely be the reason for dinosaur doom.
The Different Possible Deaths Meteor Volcanoes • Most popular idea • Ash blocked the sun Ice age • Dinosaurs froze Disease • Dinosaurs got ill
Meteor Strike NMost people think a meteor killed the dinosaurs. NThe collision had so much force, there was enough dust thrown into the air to block the sun. NThe weaker dinosaurs died because of the change of climate. NWithout the sun, plants struggled and eventually died out. NWithout plants, herbivores died. NWithout herbivores to eat, carnivores died too.
Volcanoes NSome people think a lot of volcanic eruptions killed the dinosaurs. NThey believe enough ash was flung into the air to block the sun, leading to the same consequences as the meteor strike.
Ice age NAnother theory is an ice age freezing the dinosaurs. NMany dinosaurs died of freezing. NIn the extreme cold, water would have frozen. NWith nothing to drink, the rest of the dinosaurs died.
Disease NAnother possibility is that dinosaurs caught a severe sickness and couldn’t survive. NThe disease would have been deadly and contagious.
What if one of theories happen to us Theory Deadliness rating How we could stop it Meteor 9/10 Volcano es 8/10 Send a rocket with a nuke in it to explode the meteor. Cover them with a heavy material. Ice Age 8/10 Wear warmer clothes and melt frozen water. Disease 9/10 (Mutating disease 10/10) Use antibiotics, if it mutates, it is awfully hard to stop.
