One theory hypothesis is that the climate became too wet while another that the climate dried out to kill off the dinosaurs. The dinosaurs could have starved to death or died from the over-heating. Scientists continue to add new causes for the extinction of the dinosaurs. Some of the recent mechanisms are: 1) cancer trigged by huge bursts of neutrinos released by dying stars in the Milky Way Galaxy. 2) AIDS.
Scientists have created two groups to put the theories into; Either Catastrophic extinction or Gradual extinction. Catastrophic extinction would have been caused suddenly such as an asteroid colliding with earth or a series of eruptions from Volcanoes. Gradual extinction would have been as a result of changes to earths global temperature or survival of the fittest through new stronger animals winning in the struggle for existence. Dinosaurs Dinosaurs were the dominant land animals for 160 million years, from the late Triassic period (About 230 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous period (about 65 million years ago) making them one of the most successful groups of animals ever to have walked the earth. The name dinosaur translates as 'terrible or wondrous lizards' and they certainly evolved in a huge range of sizes and shapes, from the gigantic plant-eating sauropods to the quick meat-eating tyrannosaurs.
Liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen then mixed and ignited, causing the explosion that destroyed the Challenger" (Palmer, Dunford, & Akin, 2009, p. 375). All the astronauts aboard the Challenger perished. Seventeen years later, on February 1, 2003, the Columbia disintegrated over Texas and Louisiana during re-entry into the Earth’s atmosphere. During lift-off, insulating foam fell from the fuel tank onto the wing, which caused a breach in the fragile tiles that were to protect the shuttle from the heat of reentry. Days later, when the shuttle attempted reentry, the breach allowed heat into the wing, which caused destruction of the craft.

Contents Page Front Cover ………………………………………………………………… 1 Table of Contents ………………………………………………………… 2 Introduction ……………………………………………………………….. 3 Scientific Background ………………………………………………….. 4 Argument for What Killed the Dinosaurs ……………………….. 8 Arguments Against this theory ……………………………………… 10 Introduction So then, the big question is what killed the dinosaurs? For around 200 million years dinosaurs had ruled the world, they had grown huge in every environment. Then around 65 million years ago, they suddenly disappeared from the fossil record. What lead to their extinction will be discussed in this case study.
While there they come across an elderly man named Peter Jackson and an infant named Jamie Ritter. They were the only survivors. They are taken back t the secret underground facility at Wildfire. Upon further study, the team uncovers that he bacterium that caused the bizarre deaths were caused by a crystal-structured, extraterrestrial microbe on a meteor that crashed into the satellite. They then discovered that the microbe, code named "Andromeda", mutates with each growth cycle, changing its biologic properties.
Meteorites are heavy. Most meteorites are much denser than ordinary Earth rocks. The unusual weight is due to high iron content. Even stone meteorites will feel heavier in the hand than most Earth rocks. Meteorites likely traveled in space for millions of years before visiting us here on Earth.
This time, 40,000 were killed instantly, and another 40,000 due to injuries and radiation. Common descriptions of the bombing include a "mushroom cloud", an extremely bright flash of light that caused blindness, severe burns (skin hanging from people, eyes burnt, people turned into ash etc. ), and the entire area being literally flattened. It was said that the heat produced was equivalent to the sun, and that the force of one atomic bomb was equivalent to 67 million sticks of dynamite! After the war, atomic bombs have never been used again.
There’s a peer-reviewed article that contains many of these claims, but they also provide the origins and history on how people were even able to land on the moon. This article is called ‘’Apollo Moon Landing hoax accusations’’. What made people to make quick assumptions like that? Several medias reinforced the idea that we never actually landed on the moon. For example, the first book which was on this subject was made by Bill Kaysing who he himself published was called ‘’We never went to the Moon: America’s Thirty Billion Dollar Swindle’’.
Ancient Atomic Warfare When the first atomic bomb exploded in New Mexico, the desert sand turned to fused green glass. This fact, according to the magazine Free World, has given certain archaeologists a turn. They have been digging in the ancient Euphrates Valley and have uncovered a layer of agrarian culture 8,000 years old, and a layer of herdsman culture much older, and a still older caveman culture. Recently, they reached another layer of fused green glass. It is well known that atomic detonations on or above a sandy desert will melt the silicon in the sand and turn the surface of the Earth into a sheet of glass.
Their main competitors were the pseudosuchia, such as aetosaurs, ornithosuchids and rauisuchians, which were more successful than the dinosaurs. Most of these other animals became extinct in the Triassic, in one of two events. First, at about 215 million years ago, variety of basal archosauromorphs, including the protorosaurs, became extinct. This was followed by the Triassic–Jurassic extinction event, that saw the end of most of the other groups of early archosaurs, like aetosaurs, ornithosuchids, phytosaurs, and
