The extinction of the dinosaurs is primarily attributed to a dramatic change in climate caused by a massive asteroid impact around 66 million years ago. This event led to widespread fires, a "nuclear winter" effect, and a significant drop in temperatures, disrupting ecosystems and food chains. Additionally, volcanic activity in the Deccan Traps may have contributed to long-term climate changes, further exacerbating the survival challenges for dinosaurs. These rapid and severe shifts in weather and habitat ultimately led to their extinction.
