 Trang 1/6 it was too large. In reality, T.rex probably moved as fast as an elephant. Also, T. rex had very 
small arms. Without strong legs or arms, this dinosaur probably wasn't a powerful hunter. It may 
have been a scavenger instead, only eating animals that were already dead.
 Did an asteroid kill the dinosaurs? An asteroid hit Mexico's Yucantan Peninsula about 65 
million years ago. It created a 180-kilometer (110-mile) wide crater called Chicxulub. Many 
believe this asteroid caused the extinction of the dinosaurs. But even before this, dinosaurs were 
already dying out around the world, for many reasons. At the end of the Cretaceous period, for 
example, the global climate was changing and Earth's temperature was getting colder.
 Dinosaurs completely disappeared about 65 million years ago. However, scientists believe 
modern-day birds are descendants of certain dinosaurs. If this true, then dinosaurs' relatives are 
still walking - and flying - among us!

 Trang 3/6 ground around and under them warms and soften. Also, the hard permafrost that originally 
prevented beaches from eroding during violent storms is now melting. People who live along 
Alaska’s coasts are being forced to relocate. For villages on small low islands, one terrible storm 
could wipe out the entire community.
 The melting permafrost and increasing temperatures are both affecting the forests of Alaska. 
As the permafrost under the forests melts, insects that normally do not turn up until the warmer 
seasons are appearing sooner. The spruce-bark beetle, for example, is increasing in numbers as a 
result of warmer winter temperatures. It usually takes about two years for these beetles to grow 
and reproduce in very cold weather. However, due to the increase in temperatures, spruce-bark 
beetles are reproducing faster and damaging as many trees in one year as they previously damaged 
in two. If something cannot be done to change things, Alaska’s forests will not survive the turn of 
the century.
 Some scientists believe that human activity is linked to a global increase in weather 
temperature. Whatever the cause of rising temperatures may be, the fact remains that temperatures 
are warming, affecting Alaska for the worse. Horribly, this could be a preview of what will happen 
to the rest of the world in the next century.
