The Cretaceous-Tertiary extinction event, or the K-T event, is the name given to the die-off of the dinosaurs and other species that took place some 65.5 million years ago. For many years, paleontologists believed this event was caused by climate and geological changes that interrupted the dinosaursâ food supply.
The dinosaurs are dead. Since they lived millions of years ago, much before humans, there is no possible way of finding out why they died. But scientists have examined fossilsâ¦ (skeletal remains of the dinosaur), and and agreed to a theory: A large comet came hurtling through the atmosphere and the earth.
