What would you plan if an asteroid would hit earth?
If the asteroid is more than about 5 miles in diameter, the devastation would be worldwide. There would be nothing that anyone could do.
What would happen if an asteroid with diameter of 1-3 kilometer range smashed into earth?
If an asteroid with a diameter of 1-3 kilometers hit Earth, it could cause widespread devastation, with global effects. The impact would generate massive tsunamis, earthquakes, and fires, leading to significant loss of life and destruction of infrastructure. It could also potentially alter the climate and have long-term consequences on the environment.
Is an asteroid 50 miles across?
An asteroid 50 miles across would be considered very large and potentially catastrophic if it were to impact Earth. Such a large asteroid could cause widespread destruction and have a significant impact on global climate if it were to collide with our planet.
What kind of damage would a large asteroid do to eartth?
This would depend on a number of factors, including:The exact mass and size of the asteroidWhere it hits the EarthThe trajectory of the asteroidThe initial velocity of the asteroidThe density of the asteroidPotential damage that an asteroid can cause includes:Damage from blast wavesDamage from resulting earthquakesDamage from resulting firesDamage from tidal waves if the asteroid hits a body of water
Could a 70 mile wide asteroid destroy earth?
When talking about asteroidal impacts, it's worth noting that the diameter of an object is not an indication of potential impact. The density and more important is the velocity at which it impacts the Earth is. However, an asteroid with a diameter of 70 miles would not destroy the Earth. The Earth has been hit by much larger objects (Theia) and survived - yet only just. A 70 mile asteroid would make a large impact but it would not destroy the Earth. A 70 mile asteroid would however, with the right velocity and angle, in all probability, wipe all life off of the Earth and cause years of non regeneration. Simple life would eventually recolonise the planet, but it would take millions of years for complex animals to evolve. So much so, that a devastation on that scale would eliminate mankind from the Universe as we know it. The asteroid that wiped out the Dinosaurs and ended their reign was a mere 10 miles in diameter and produced 2 million times more energy that our most powerful atomic bomb. So the 70 mile asteroid would not destroy the Earth but it would certainly destroy everything on it.
What would cause a fast change to the Earth's surface?
Tornado, hurricane, tsunami, asteroid, etc.
Would a 2.5 mile wide asteroid cause much damage?
Yes. The impact of a 2.5 mile wide asteroid would likely be the worst natural disaster in human history. The airblast would be devastating even hundreds of miles away. If it hit the ocean it would cause large tsunamis.
What is the percentage of an asteroid hitting earth in the next 100 years?
An asteroid or meteor that would cause climatic change, about 1 in 600,000 to 1 in 10,000,000.
If a asteroid hit the world what would the effects be?
The effects would depend on the size of the asteroid, but even if the asteroid was the size of a small house the effects would be devastating. First of all those who live in the area of impact would die in instant destruction. if the asteroid hit water huge tidal waves would be created flooding most of the world, the waves could be up to 3 miles tall maby even taller depending on the size of the asteroid. the sun would also be blackend out because dust would be spewn up into the atmosphere which would stop heat from reaching the planet causeing global cooling
What is an example of a rare high magnitude geologic event?
An extremely large volcanic eruption of VEI-7 or VEI-8 would be a rare geologic event that would cause regional, if not global devastation. The last VEI-7 eruption was in 1815. The last VEI 8 eruption was 74,000 years ago.
What would happen with global warming if earth is hit by an asteroid?
Depending on the size of the asteroid and the speed of its collision, millions of tons of dust will explode into the atmosphere and be carried all round the world, blotting out the sun. Without the sun's heat the atmosphere would cool and global warming would slow. If the dust cloud remains for years many species will die. This is one of the theories for the disappearance of the dinosaurs.
How does global warming affect global precipitation?
It would seem logical to assume that increases in temperature would cause increases in precipitation.
