It's official: An asteroid wiped out the dinosaurs published by yahoo news
2. What was the author's thesis? (insert the quote)
found that a 15-kilometre (9 miles) wide asteroid slamming into Earth at Chicxulub in what is now Mexico was the culprit."We now have great confidence that an asteroid was the cause of the KT extinction. This triggered large-scale fires, earthquakes measuring more than 10 on the Richter scale, and continental landslides, which created tsunamis," said Joanna Morgan of Imperial College London, a co-author of the review.
3. Do you agree with their thesis? Why or why not?
Ido believe this thesis because it is more probable for it to have happened then for a volcano to explode. I am happy at the fact that the scientists have finally said that the KT extintion was do to a asteroid.
