What else can I help you with?
How can you use the word bolide in a sentence?
The bolide crashed into the planet, resulting in a crater.
What is Asteroid 335 miles in diameter called?
a bolide
How do you unscramble delibo?
The anagrams are boiled and bolide (exploding meteor).
Where meteorites came from?
Meteorites can from asteroids that landed on Earth's surface. They were originally chipped off larger planetary bodies by bolide impact.
Meteor that strikes the earth surface?
Is called a bolide or impactor and any fragments that survive the collision with the atmosphere or ground are called meteorites.
What is it called when a meteor produces enough light to cast a shadow on the earth?
A meteor does not produce light, a shadow on the Earth is caused when the meteor blocks the Sun's rays. The meteor does this when it is placed in between the Sun and the Earth, this is called an eclipse.
What are two things that moves eroded materials?
Water & Wind
What effects have HUGE asteroids collisions had on living things?
The most recent mass extinction, about 63 million years ago, was caused by a bolide colliding in Mexico - the Chixulub Crater. Before that, the largest event was that that separates the Permian and Triassic in the geological scale, and one possibility for this is also of a bolide, but other causes are suspected. This extinction wiped out 96% of Marine species, and about 70% of terrestrial vertebrate ones. So pretty disastrous is the simple answer.
What has the author Kenneth R Bullis written?
Kenneth R. Bullis has written: 'Bolide guide for tenants' -- subject(s): Betterments, Landlord and tenant, Office buildings, Office leases
What is a tektite created by?
When a bolide impacts with Earth, molten material may splash out of the newly created crater, solidifying almost instantaneously so that it is more like glass than a crystalline structure.
What could be an impact to society or benefit to mankind if you could know the origin of tektites?
By knowing the origin of tektites, one could indicate the statistical chance that there will be a bolide impact at some later time in the future.
What do scientist think they may have caused dinosaurs to become extinct?
answ2. Current ideas support the concept of a large bolide landing in the Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, a place called Chixculub, about 65 million years ago. This bolide was about 10km in diameter, and created a crater of about 180 km diameter. The bolide contained an unusual concentration of iridium, and Ir dust from this impact is found world wide.This produced huge destruction and the increased clouds and particles would have chilled the atmosphere and killed off most life forms. The ones that survived were able to burrow (Tuatara), and of course the sharks.Other possible causes would include great flood basalt events, and these would also poison the atmosphere.There have been several other major catastrophes in Earth history.
