Facts about extinction

The extinction happened about 65
million years ago.
It happened to the huge dinosaurs
who ruled the earth for a long time.
The results of this mighty
disappearances was that there was
no more dinosaurs left on the earth.

Theories
In the next few slides you will find
out about what scientests think
might have happened to these huge
big creatures who live about 65
million years ag !!!
ENJOY

Asteroid
This is the one most scientest think
caused the extinction of these huge
creatures.
This theory says that a massive
asteroid or comet came smashing to
the earth and wiped out these
amazing creatures. We know this
because there is a massive big hole in
the gulf of Mexico !

Volcanic theory
There was a volcano about 65
million years ago that pumped to
much ash in the air that blocked the
suns light and it was all dark and the
dinosaurs couldnt see at all then the
big creatures were not able to
survive ! OH-NO

Terrible Ice age

Through out earths time there has
been lots of ice ages. The last one
ended about 10,000 years ago! A
very severe ice age could have
wiped the dinosaurs out because it
was so bad that all the water was
frozen and these creatures would
not be able to survive !

Climate Change
The earth might have just gradually
changed in climate over a long
period of time and the dinosaurs
were not able to survive in the
colder and dryer weather.

A disease
This one is that a deadly and
contagious disease came through all
the dinosaurs and wiped them all
out!

ALIENS
This is the last one we have it is
thought that the aliens came and
abducted the dinosaurs in their
funky ufos. This one is rarely
believed but is one of the theories.

Some more
There are probably other theories
but this is all we have. One thing is
for certain, all the dinosaurs we
know are now extinct. Maybe one
day we will find out exactly what
happened to the dinosaurs.

Our view
We liked doing this topic it was great
fun.
The theories Hayley and I thought
was that a meteoroid or comet
crashed to earth and wiped out the
dinosaurs.
