Question

explain how scientists used the scientific method to learn more about how dinosaurs became extinct.

Explanation:

Answer:

Scientists first made observations such as finding dinosaur fossils and geological layers. They then formulated hypotheses like an asteroid impact or massive volcanic eruptions causing extinction. Next, they conducted experiments and gathered data, for example, analyzing the composition of sediment layers for iridium (associated with asteroids) or studying volcanic rock formations. Based on the data, they evaluated and refined their hypotheses, and used the results to build models and theories about the extinction event.
