The dinosaurs are vertebrate animals that dominated our planet for over 160 million years ago. It is said that they first appeared on our land 230 million years ago. Our attention was drawn to the dinosaurs after watching the blockbuster science fiction film entitled Jurassic Park directed by Steven Spielberg in 1993. By the end of the Cretaceous period, about 65 million years ago, they had experienced a catastrophic extinction. How often have you wondered what happened to the dinosaurs? Do you know what factors contributed to their rapid extinction? Now, let me tell you my theories on behalf of their rapid disappearance from our Earth. Photo credit: William
The dinosaurs seemed to have been the victims of raining meteorites before they could attend the emergency class held by their ancestors. The meteor attack was not wholly an incidental event in their world. Instead, its attack was too sudden and inevitable for them to even have enough time to learn to run away from this scary calamity. Well, the blame should go to the dinosaurs as they were not alert to rescue themselves during the critical moment. Photo credit: archeology.net
The second theory is that the dinosaurs were hit hard by an extremely cold wave during the prehistoric time. At that moment, our earth

You might suspect me to ponder imaginatively to the story about the extinction of the dinosaurs. I am wondering, if our time can be reverted to the past million years ago, I really would like to explore the world of the dinosaurs to find out the hidden facts about them. Nevertheless, in reality, the time cannot be reverted. But, one fact is clear that my mind has reverted to the era of the dinosaurs when this article was written. The exploration that I ventured through the different “mind-space” was indeed intoxicating! I have completed this exploration to understand more about the dinosaurs before I get back to you. Thanks God, for this enjoyable
The dinosaur extinction theory – a large asteroid impact and a giant volcanic eruption at the end of cretaceous – also supports that dinosaurs were cold blooded, when the dust due to the meteorite covered the earth, then the sun light could not penetrate the smoke and dust, thus sunlight did not enter the earth for many years, this lead to the drop in temperature on the land, as dinosaurs were cold blooded they could not raise their body temperature without sunlight and hence were
Three dinosaurs with facts and why they went extinct 1: Kaprosuchus aprosuchus is an extinct genus of mahajangasuchid crocodyliform. It is known from a single nearly complete skull collected from the Upper Cretaceous Echkar Formation of Niger. The name means "boar crocodile" from the Greek κάπρος, kapros ("boar") and σοῦχος, souchos ("crocodile") in reference to its unusually large caniniform teeth which resemble those of a boar. Kaprosuchus is known from a nearly complete skull 507 mm in length in which the lower jaw measured 603 mm long, whilst the entire animal is originally estimated to have been around 6 metres (20 ft) in length,[1][3] but later comparisons to similar crocodiles suggest a total estimated body length approximately 3.3 metres (11 ft).[4] It possesses three sets of tusk-like caniniform teeth that project above and below the skull, one of which in
The theory of the asteroid being the reason for the extinction of the dinosaurs and with the help of some colleagues, it was able to confirm the extinction of the extinction
Abha Joshi A.P. Environmental Science 08/07/15 The journey that is evolution has always been a deep interest of mine. The Earth and the evolution of its organism had grabbed my attention years ago. I’ve always found evolution as topic that has yet to be fully unraveled.
“I stepped fearfully in: the apartment was empty, and my bedroom was also freed from its hideous guest.” this is where the monster gets loose after realizing that his own creator is terrified of him. As the book progresses Victor does come into contact with his creation but the monster does not kill victor but when realizing that Victor won't be making the monster a companion the monster decides to kill henry, Victors old friend. In Jurassic Park, the dinosaurs escape because when Nedry leaves to deliver the stolen embryos he left the security with no one watching it, so when Nedry dies nobody is there to re activate the electric fence leaving it for the dinosaurs able to escape their “cages”. With the dinosaurs out on the loose countless others die as well, while Hammond is out on a walk trying to fix the park and decides to salvage he gets injured doing so and ends up being attacked and eaten by a pack of compys.
The making of film, or the concept of it, has been around since the beginning of the 18th century. The lens of the camera has captured some of the most beautiful things, but also the most prejudice. Stereotypes of races, ethnicities, and gender have always been around but were widely considered acceptable in films of that era. Almost as long as there have been people filming, there have been people fighting for equality to be presented on the big screen. Danez Smith is one of these modern fighters in his free verse poem “Dinosaurs in the Hood.”
Well in both movies as you can see the animal seems in control of the people like in jaws the shark seem to be really smart because everything that the Capitan Quint try to do to the shark seem like a game for the white shark because he was in control at that moment. But it was impossible to kill the smart shark because I think he knew every move that they did to try to kill the shark. Else I think he knew the island around him because he knew were the people went or when they were in the water. The tyrannosaurus rex seem in control at the Jurassic park because every time the tyrannosaurus did damage to the people or the surface around him, the people never had the right tool to kill the animal or stop it and when you do not kill an animal
He was scared, but if he was less selfish and actually thought about what he was doing, he would have stopped talking. Because he continued to speak, he alerted the dinosaur to their being in the area. This led to big consequences for the other four men who were on this hunting trip that the dinosaur spotted them because it advanced on the men, not allowing them to make the first move. The first move is very significant because the attacker can catch them by surprise and it proves that to the opponent that they are the alpha dog. The dinosaur was the one who attacked, which made it hard for the hunters.
The discovery of this mammal was proof that mammals had lived alongside the dinosaurs. It gave scientist a small glimpse into ancient mammal species. Chapter 6– Questions
Apparently the scientists have never seen Jurassic Park. It’s a clear reason of why you don’t try and bring extinct animals back to life. They’re dead for a reason. Anyways though, they just so happened to make the most dangerous dinosaurs first. They ended up growing faster than expected and were fully grown in 2 months.
Jurassic Park is a classic science fiction film about the problems one may run into when cloning dinosaurs and creating a Jurassic environment. However, the meaning behind the film may not be so obvious. A viewing of the film makes us question the future for paleontology, cloning technology, and human relationships. Why would the park open with dangers like velociraptors, tyrannosaurus rexes, and other carnivorous, strong, fast, and practically unstoppable dinosaurs present? How do the characters in the film treat death?
Title Researchers and scientists have constructed extensive research on dinosaur’s extinction. Speculation instead of real evidence seems common in most theories about the dinosaurs’ extinction. However, Jay Gould’s essay “Sex, Drugs, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs” is the complete opposite of speculation over evidence. Rather, Gould uses the mix of persuasive techniques, such as rhetorical questions, logos, along with profound evidence to not only disapprove of other theories but convince readers of his place on the dinosaur’s extinction.
Once they are in the past and see the Tyrannosaurus Ray Bradbury uses imagery to explain what the dinosaur looks like. The Tyrannosaurus was described as, “...thirty feet above half the trees, a great evil of god, folding its delicate watchmaker’s
Endless theories and hypothesis’ surround the disappearance of the dinosaur species. Comets, asteroids, disease, and volcanic eruptions are just some of the presumed causes of their extinction. Which one is to believe? In “Sex, Drugs, Disaster, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs,” Stephen Jay Gould presents three proposals for their extinction: Sex, Drugs, and Disasters. Gould explains the three theories on the extinction of dinosaurs by giving a biologic and scientific reason for each, with the purpose of showing that scientific discoveries come from testable theories.
The storyline tries to make us to think about what is going in the story. The characters need to come up with how they are going to take down the dinosaur. Time traveling can affect many of the characters in certain ways. For example, In Sound of Thunder Eckels accidentally falls off the path which affects the timeline. Eckels learned that there were consequences to what he did.
