Scientists identify cause of dinosaur extinction

Scientists say they now have clear support for the theory that an asteroid struck the Earth and wiped out the dinosaurs. The cause of the extinction of the dinosaurs and most of the animal species on Earth has long been debated in the scientific community. Some scientists believe that an asteroid struck the earth that caused the demise of the dinosaurs, while others believe that it was a volcanic eruption. But what is being called the most comprehensive study yet has uncovered information that provides evidence for the asteroid impact theory.

The reason for the extinction of dinosaurs has always been a controversy in the scientific community

The new findings are published in the latest issue of Science Magazine.

Research conducted by an international scientific research team composed of 41 experts found that an asteroid hit the Earth 65 million years ago off the coast of Mexico. The impact caused earthquakes and firestorms, and threw tens or tens of billions of tons of material into the atmosphere, blocking the sun's rays. The scientific team concluded that the extinction of the dinosaurs could now be attributed to an asteroid impact on the Earth.

Scientists also say that the impact that wiped out the dinosaurs also created the environment and conditions for the evolution of many new species, including humans.

But reporters say the controversy over the demise of the dinosaurs is expected to continue.
