Why did the triceratops die? |
A change in climate from dust blocking the sun for a very long time. This is just one of the many theories trying to explain how the dinosaurs became extinct. Nobody really knows for sure how they all went out. And yes, the triceratops went down the same way as almost all the other dinosaurs did. What caused the dust to go flying up into the air? A meteor shower, and a tremendous one at that, had giant space rocks shooting through the sky and blasting the Earth to bits. The rocks caused the dust and dirt to float up into the air and stay afloat while blocking the suns rays of light. This caused the Earth to freeze and change from warm temperature to a freezing, death-wreeking coldess around the entire prehistoric globe. The ice and snow started killing the dinosaurs and plants, and thus wiping them out and placing them into extinction.
