What else can I help you with?
A piece of rock or metal from space that enters the earths atmosphere at high speed and burns up?
That is called a meteoroid. When it enters the Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it creates a streak of light in the sky, known as a meteor or shooting star.
What is a bit of matter that enters the earth atmosphere and survives to reach the ground?
A bit of matter that enters the Earth's atmosphere and survives to reach the ground is called a meteorite. Meteorites are rocks or metal fragments that originate in outer space and survive the heat and pressure of atmospheric entry to impact the Earth's surface.
A piece of stone or metal that falls to the earths surface?
It is called a meteorite, which is a solid piece of debris, typically from a comet, asteroid, or planetary body, that survives its passage through Earth's atmosphere and lands on the surface.
When metal enters a chemical reaction what is it called?
The process called when metal is destroyed by a chemical reaction is called Corrosion. Electrochemical of oxidation of metals reacts with oxygen thus corrosion will occur on metals.
What is a piece of rock or metal which is smaller than an asteroid that orbits the sun?
A piece of rock or metal that is smaller than an asteroid and orbits the Sun is called a meteoroid. These objects are typically the remnants of asteroids or comets and can range in size from a grain of dust to a few meters in diameter. When a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and burns up, it creates a meteor or "shooting star."
What is a rock or metal that pludges through the atmosphere and falls to earth?
A rock or metal that plummets through the atmosphere and falls to Earth is called a meteorite. When a meteoroid survives its passage through the atmosphere and lands on the Earth's surface, it is referred to as a meteorite.
What is the name of a piece of stone or metal that falls from space to earth?
If it falls on the Earth, it would be called a meteorite. If it burns up in the atmosphere, it is called a meteor and if it doesn't enter the atmosphere it is a meteoroid.
Why do objects burn up on reentry into earths atmosphere?
It's all down to friction from the Earth's atmosphere. The speed of the object falling - creates friction with the air around it. The heat generated by the is hot enough to melt metal - and most asteroids.
What are earths layers made of?
Rock & metal
Is a meteor actually a meteoroid that burns up in the atmosphere?
No, a meteoroid is the solid interplanetary debris before entering Earth's atmosphere. When it enters the atmosphere and heats up, creating a bright streak of light, it is called a meteor. If any part of it survives and reaches the Earth's surface, it is then called a meteorite.
Earths crust is made of the metal alluminum?
10%
Where is metal ore found?
They can be found in the earths crust.
