What was the scientific theory about dinosaurs’ extinction twenty years ago? Sixty-five million years ago. Dinosaurs living on the ground became extinct. They discovered that a large cloud of dust was created by the crash of the large object. They reasoned that sunlight was stopped from reaching the earth by the cloud. As a result, the weather became greatly cooled. The cold weather and less sunshine killed many plants which were the food of dinosaurs and other animals. Because of no food the animals soon died. What was the new theory expressed by some scientists ten years ago? 5. What are scientists preparing to do? They said that the object was not big enough to create a deadly cloud of dust, but it hit with great force so that poisonous chemicals were given out. Dinosaurs and other ancient animals were poisoned by the chemicals and then died. Scientists are preparing to make a study of the rocks that remain after the large object hit.
