They reasoned that sunlight was stopped from reaching the earth by the cloud. As a result, the weather became greatly cooled. The cold weather and less sunshine killed many plants which were the food of dinosaurs and other animals. Because of no food the animals soon died.What was the new theory expressed by some scientists ten years ago? 5.
