Iridium in the K-T boundary suggests that a large meteor struck the earth at the right time to exterminate the dinosaurs.

There's really no evidence against volcanoes -- but the evidence FOR the meteor strike is much better.

Some scientists blame comets for the lack of dinosaurs on earth today. They hypothesize that a large comet collided with our planet long ago. This resulted in great clouds of dust in the air, which shielded the sun and cooled the earth's climate for many years. Since dinosaurs could not adjust to the colder weather, they perished. This is just one of many theories about the demise of the dinosaurs. The list of suggested catastrophes, both on the earth and in the sky, is considerable. Some of the other astronomical events used to explain the death of dinosaurs are:

The sun became either too hot or too cold for dinosaurs.
The world's climate became either too dry or too wet.
A supernova exploded nearby, spraying the earth with radiation.
Earth 's magnetic field reversed, and incoming radiation killed most life.
A passing comet poisoned the earth with chemicals.
A giant meteorite crashed into the sea, and a tidal wave then swept the land and drowned life.
There is a lack of supporting evidence for any of these events! Instead, creationists suggest that most dinosaurs died as a result of the great flood described in Genesis 6-8. Dinosaur types which were preserved on the ark probably faced severe climate changes following the flood. Creation research continues to demonstrate the importance of the worldwide flood in explaining earth's history.

a good number of sites now want the asteroid idea, very very nearly none oppose it anymore--regardless of the indisputable fact that you ought to decide on to google Gerta Keller for her study on Chicxulub (bear in ideas regardless of the reality that that that is a lot from a usually known view.) Now as for volcanism, for a good view, you ought to nonetheless discover one via googling Dewey McClean, or charles Officer. IMO the web pages given via punk rock do a crummy interest--if any in any respect-opposing vulcanism. better effective ones were made in books. can not bear in mind the identify offhand yet years in the past one tome talked about that deccan vulcanism predated extinction and did not do away with the dinosaurs even in India itself.

I believe it was a combination of things. Volcano's, meteorites, and probably their size also. I always here of meteorite's tho, being the main culprit. A really big one whacked into Australia.

Mr. chas chas is right. After the flood people hunted the dinosaurs to extinction. in the book of job, they talk about the leviathon (a fire breathing dragon) which was obviously a dinosaur, (he and Nessie are cousins). ever wonder about the stories about knights in shinning armor fighting fire breathing dragons? every myth has some fact associated with it.
