Different kinds of Carnivorous dinosaurs used different hunting techniques, some scavenge, some actively hunt.

Carnivorous dinosaurs food source was primarily herbivorous dinosaurs.

Sauropods have to eat lots of food to maintain their weight, since they were lots of food, they grow to massive proportions.

World had a giant super continent named Pangaea so all dinosaurs could freely travel anywhere.
