Why is there debate over how dinosaurs became extinct?

The Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras comprise the most recent 10% of Earth's geologic history.The Paleozoic era is marked by seven distinct periods. These consisted of dramatic climate changes, multiple life explosions, shifting continents, and new mountain ranges.A mass extinction at the end of the Paleozoic era left only 5% of the species on Earth, which made way for the age of the dinosaurs (and lasted 150 million years).The Mesozoic era had a warm, stable climate, leading to the development of rain forests and good conditions for dinosaurs.The supercontinent Pangaea broke apart during the Mesozoic era. Over millions of years, continents assumed their present-day positions.The first mammals appeared during the Mesozoic era.Scientists think the extinction of the dinosaurs was most likely caused by several large events such as volcanism and impact from a comet or asteroid
