The meteorite was probably 1<span>0 to 15 km (6.2 to 9.3 mi) wide</span> and affected the entire planet through a proces called "impact winter". As the name suggests, an impact winter is a period of low temperature produced by a huge cloud of ash and dust that blocks sunlight. Since sunlight is essential for plants to survive, if the sun rays are blocked by this cloud, all animals that depend on those plants (including dinosaurs) will die. The meteorite could have created such a cloud upon hitting the earth.

Answer:

the maximum population size that a particular environment can support.

Explanation:

A population can be defined as the total number of living organisms living together in a particular place and sharing certain characteristics in common.

Generally, these populations may be divided into a fraction of the population (subpopulation) based on certain factors and reasons.

Population regulation can be defined as a biological process that balances limiting factors affecting the growth of a population based on density. The factors that regulate the growth of a population are divided into two (2) main categories and these includes;

I. Density-independent factors.

II. Density-dependent factors.

Density-dependent are regulating factors such as predation, diseases, and competition that affect the size of the population of living organisms through decreasing or increasing mortality and birth rate.

Furthermore, density-independent factors do not have an increasingly greater effect as a population's density increases. Thus, its effect are reduced as a population's density increases in size.

Carrying capacity is the maximum population size that a particular environment can support. The carrying capacity of an environment is denoted by the letter k.
