- Why did dinosaurs die out? Open p.109, ex.3 . Fill in the gaps. Write out the main reasons.
What happened to the dinosaurs?
Scientists are not sure why the dinosaurs …… (disappear). Some scientists think that the climate …... (change) suddenly. Fossils of trees tell us that the temperature ….. (drop) a lot and that the level of the sea ….. (drop) also. This means that it ….. (be) suddenly much colder. Perhaps the dinosaurs ….. (be) too slow to change with the climate. A new idea is that a meteor …… (crash) into the Earth. Scientists ….. (discover) a place in Mexico where they think the meteor ….. (crash). They think that there ….. (be) a lot of dust from the meteor. The dust ….. (land) on the plants. Many animals – including some dinosaurs – ….. (be) plant-eaters, and perhaps the dust ….. (kill) them. This means that there ….. (be) nothing for meat-eating dinosaurs to eat, and so they ….. (die). But, as many animals from that time didn`t die, we are not 100% sure what really ….. (happen).
