What color was the sky during the dinosaurs?

Unauthorized use is prohibited. Actually, the sky was orange until about 2.5 billion years ago, but if you jumped back in time to see it, you’d double over in a coughing fit. Way back then, the air was a toxic fog of vicious vapors: carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, cyanide, and methane.

What killed the dinosaurs ice age?

asteroid
The most common theory for the demise of the dinosaurs is that a large asteroid struck Chicxulub in Mexico, forming a 240 kilometre wide crater. The resulting atmospheric debris blocked out the sun creating a ‘nuclear winter’, which killed plants, then plant-eaters and, finally, meat-eaters.

What did Earth look like when dinosaurs roamed?

The Dinosaurs’ Changing World The Earth had heavy vegetation near costs, lakes, and rivers, but desert in its interior. During the Jurassic Period, the continents gradually broke apart. The world was warm, moist, and full of green plants. During the Cretaceous Period, most of the continents had separated.

Did dinosaurs walk the earth?

For over 170 million years they dominated the land, from small creatures just a few feet long to some of the largest animals ever to have walked Earth.

How did dinosaurs breathe so well?

The air the dinosaurs breathed was in fact much richer in oxygen than now, and is the reason why winged reptiles of those days had (as creationists never tire of pointing out) pinions too small to work in today’s atmosphere. The greater oxygen in the mix would have enabled them to get and maintain purchase more easily in the air.

What was the atmosphere like in the early Earth?

There is evidence that the atmosphere enveloping the early earth was very different than it is today. At one time the entire earth enjoyed a warm tropical environment and there was enhanced oxygen in the atmosphere. Organisms grew larger and lived longer as a result.

What would happen if there was a large canopy on Earth?

In fact, a canopy of significant size would result in extreme temperatures on Earth. This is a matter of ongoing creationist climate research. It is interesting that scientists who would not subscribe to the water vapor canopy theory described above, have published articles that lend credence to portions of that theory.

Was there a water vapor canopy on the second day?

Many creationists have attributed this special primeval atmosphere to a water vapor canopy that was created by God on the second day, the “waters above the firmament” (Genesis 1:7).
