Coco asked:


In the asteroid impact theory of the extinction of the dinosaurs some 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs (and over half of all the other species on the earth at that time) died off largely because:

a)the impact caused massive earthquakes and volcanic activity worldwide.
b)of injuries suffered from direct hits of pieces of the asteroid or comet.
c)dust settled on the leaves of plants, making them inedible, so the animals died of starvation.
d)dust injected into the stratosphere from the impact absorbed visible light from the Sun, causing global temperatures to plummet.
