Brief Explanations

The mass extinction of dinosaurs at the boundary between the Mesozoic and Cenozoic Eras is most supported by evidence of an asteroid/comet impact. The Chicxulub crater in Mexico is a key piece of evidence. It is dated to the same time as the dinosaur extinction. The impact would have caused global climate change, wildfires, and other catastrophic events that led to the extinction.

asteroid/comet impact.
