How do you think the dinosaurs went extinct ?
This is a question many people have asked and I'm sure you have heard as a child. The top three theories I've seen is either volcano, meteor, or they evolved into birds. I believe that it was either the meteor or starvation. What do you think?

They're space aliens.

There are 10,000 or 18,000 (Depending on who you ask) living species of theropod (All of them are bids, for debated reasons) They are not extinct.
Dinosaurs died of some colossal natural disaster

Some of them still live today though (hint hint: birds)

Doesn't matter. Birds are theropods, which means that until all birds go extinct, dinosaurs are not extinct.
haha you are fooled prove that dino's gone to the stars...

1) If they evolved into birds why do we have and continue to find all kinds of dinosaur fossils?
2) if they all starved to death...why do we have fossils?
3) The meteor theory is plausible...if it accounts for fossils.
1. Evolution takes place over a long period of time. The fossils we find are earlier stages of evolution. For example, we've found skeletons with signs of feathers on them

2. They all died...? Starvation doesn't make you disintigrate

3. ???

Troll please

Fossilization is incredibly complex and only happens in the right circumstances, mainly: 1) The beginning of preservation happens fast and 2) There's an absence of decay (and here i'm using a broad definition), like other animals tearing apart your corpse and eating you, bacterial and microbial breakdown (i.e. maggots, putrification, etc...), and natural erosion (sun, windblowing sand, water, etc...).

A good example is Otzi the Iceman from Austria. Why was he preserved? a) He died by a rock and was quickly covered by snow (he was in the mountains) b) The weight of the snow eventually pushed him down and later insulated him from the river that later flowed over him. So he wasn't exposed to animals eating his corpse and erosion from the river or wind were nonexistent. 3) Bacterial and microbial breakdown were absent because he was under snow and literally under water but also because he was up in the mountains. We don't really have dinosaurs as pristinely preserved as Otzi, mostly due to age, so they've had longer time to breakdown and most importantly different conditions.

So...why doesn't the evolution answer work? Because something huge happened to quickly cover up a butt-ton of dinosaurs, which is why we find them. Evolution, as you said, takes time...the inital preservation for fossilization happens fast.

Why not starvation? Also connected to the evolution thing. If animals just fell over and died other animals would find and eat their corpses and even if they didn't bacteria and microbes and insects would. They wouldn't be preserved except under like extremely rare circumstances. After death and decay the bones would be exposed to sun and wind and thus erosion; fossilization ain't happening.

The meteor theory only works if the circumstances for fossilization happened. Normally meteors hit and cause a giant explosion. An explosion that simply caused death, whether instant, or over time due to starvation (due to the sun's light being blocked from dust in the sky and thus no plants [food] grows) you back to what i said above ^ about decay. Massive dust, dirt, and debris being cast into the air due to a meteor impact could later fall and cover dead dinosaurs and would lead to preservation. A massive flood (attested to in multiple cultures) could do the same. When the water crashes on land and disrupts hills and forests by creating mudslides would later be cover for dino corpses once the water recedes and then you'd get fossilization theoretically. But again, it depends on the circumstances, incineration from a giant fireball from a meteor ain't gonna do it...

"Troll please". Ah, read through my response and then eat my ass...

Maybe they got killed by cavemen

That'd be a hell of a lot of digging by cave dudes to bury all the dinosaurs that have been found...

Well they had a lot more free time then you or i
That was probably us, riding in on the meteors. Long before we were humans or even had
consciousness.
