    Massive volcanic eruptions that lasted thousands of years caused global cooling and blocked sunlight, leading to the most famous mass extinction event around 65 million years ago at the end of the Cretaceous Period. A large asteroid impact may have triggered this extinction by creating a giant cloud that blocked the sun, causing climate change that dinosaurs and 75% of marine life could not survive.

    It ocurred 65 million years ago. A theory says that a big


    asteroid with a diameter of 10 km hit the planet and
    created a giant cloud of rocks, dust, and sulfur in the air
    that blocked the sunlight. Catastrophic climate change
    did not let dinosaurs survive
