What happened to the Earth as a result of the Moon-forming collision?

A small mini-planet, about the size of Mars, slammed into the Earth. This was when the earth was completely molten, so it knocked some of the lava off the Earth to form a ring around it. Over time that ring crashed together to form the moon.

What happened as a result of an asteroid collision on the Yucatan peninsula 65 million years ago?
It is widely believed that that is the event that caused the extinction of the dinosaurs as well as many other lifeforms on Earth.
Is the earths tilt caused by erosion?
No. Erosion could not have such a dramatic effect on Earth's rotation. The tilt on Earth's axis is likely a result of a collision with another planet early in Earth's history. This same collision formed the moon.
How is the formation of Earth's Moon and Earth's tilt on its axis related?
We can't be entirely certain, but the Earth's axial tilt may be related to the massive collision with another (now extinct) planet; a collision in which the Moon coalesced from the debris. The same collision would certainly have affected the rate of spin of the pre-Earth.
What type of plate boundary occurs by the Himalayas?
Collision boundary. The Himalayas, is the result of the on going collision between India and Asia. source of this answer being a test i just took in my Earth Science class, that said i got this correct ;)
How was the moon like when the earth was snowball earth?
The moon is thought to have come from the earth after a collision with something quite large. Hence the answer is : part of the snowball.

Is the Andromeda galaxy ever going to collide with earth?
Not with earth specifically, but it will eventually collide with the Milky Way Galaxy. Galaxies are mostly empty space, so when this collision occurs the chances of earth suffering a collision as a result are negligible.
What was the mass of earth before its collision with earth?
It never collided with itself and if you mean the meteor that killed the dinos we don't know if that actually happened.
What will happened if the asteroid hit the earth?
Depends on its size at time of collision,the heat and vibration can destroy city country or whole world.
Why we here now in planet earth?
We are the result of the processes that have happened and are happening on our planet.
How do you avoid a collision with an asteroid headed for Earth?
There is no way to avoid an impending collision.
What happened as a result of this endeavor?
the result came to the earth and scared people away form there homes so be carful he might get you in your sleep

Why do scientists believe that earth's rocks and the Moon's rocks are similar?
It is believed that the moon was created by a collision between proto-Earth and a Mars-sized planet. The moon was formed from accreted Earth collision material.
