Who Killed the Dinosaurs?

   After reading the article, "What Killed the Dinosaurs?", what stuck out to me the most was the line, "Life may have already been in trouble." Right after I read that line, the first thing that popped into my head was "that sounds interesting, I want to know more." The first thing taught about the dinosaurs when you're a little kid is that, the dinosaurs went extinct because of a massive volcano eruption. Back then people did try to argue and say a meteor hit the Earth and killed them but those ideas were always dismissed. Learning later on in late middle school years, that in fact a meteor actually did hit the Earth and killed them was astonishing for someone who has always been curious about the dinosaurs. Now being a little bit older, I still have that curiosity and hearing that the dinosaurs were in trouble before the meteor perked up my ears a little bit. A supervolcano erupted releasing molten rock and gases. These things could have acidified the ocean causing the eco-system to be all messed up.

Based on the article, what is said to have killed the dinosaurs is a huge meteor that was ten billion times stronger then the atomic bomb that was landed on Hiroshima, a volcanism or the possibility of both.  I believe its a mixture of both, because a good point that was brought up was even though the meteor was a very strong one, it really wouldn't have affected the Earth "globally' so there had to be something else. The volcano and the meteor could of most definitely together could of took the dinosaurs out completely.
