Morning Starters: Autumn 1 - Dinosaurs

Friday

Did You Know?

Dinosaurs dominated the planet for over 160 million years, but their reign ended in disaster 66 million years ago. A massive asteroid, 15 kilometers wide, smashed into Earth near modern-day Mexico. The impact triggered wildfires, tsunamis, earthquakes, and sent dust into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight. This disastrous chain of events wiped out most dinosaurs. Only small animals, like early mammals, birds, and some reptiles, survived the chaos to reshape Earth’s future.
