What caused the extinction of dinosaurs?

🦕 Dinosaurs appeared on Earth 240 million years ago and dominated for 175 million years.

⚡️ There are multiple theories for the extinction of dinosaurs, including intense volcanic activity, climate change, and a giant asteroid impact.

🌍 The currently accepted theory is that a massive 10 km diameter asteroid struck the Earth, causing the dinosaurs' abrupt extinction.

💥 A huge impact from a meteorite caused the extinction of dinosaurs by releasing a massive amount of energy and destroying over half of Earth's species.

🌫️ The pulverized rocks created a dust cloud that darkened the sky, leading to a prolonged and deadly winter.

🌍 No animal weighing over 20 kg survived, resulting in the disappearance of the largest animals, including dinosaurs.
