What is Asteroid Impact Theory and Dinosaur Extinction about?

The asteroid impact theory, developed by Luis and Walter Alvarez in 1980, posits that a 10 km wide asteroid struck Earth 66 million years ago, causing widespread extinction, including that of the dinosaurs. This theory is supported by the presence of iridium in the K–Pg boundary clay layer. Additionally, scientists suggest that other factors, such as massive volcanic activity, may have also contributed to the extinction event.
