How could one asteroid wipe out all the dinosaurs?
The asteroid is one theory, but its not sure. the asteroid was 6 miles in diameter The DEEPEST parts of the ocean are only about 7 miles deep – but on average its only 3 – 5 miles, so a 6 mile asteroid could touch the OCEAN floor and still be sticking up miles in the air . Scientists believe that its not the impact that caused the extinction. It was the after effects. The impact would kicks up billions of tons of dust into the atmospehere, blocking out the sun causing a major climate change. Tornado’s, hurricanes, and volcano’s would erupt like crazy. Many animals, mostly larger one’s will migrate to a better area which would wreck the balance of the region. Because the the atmosphere changing they could’ve died from a disease as well.
