What kind of feature might be formed on Earth if a large meteorite reached its surface?

A large meteor strike on the earth might cause a crateron the surface. If it struck the water, it may leave a bit of a crater in the sea floor, depending on the size and velocity and composition of the meteor and the depth of the sea where it impacted. If it hit land, there'd be a big "dent" in the ground where the missle and the blast of impact gouged it out.

What causes a surface wave?
A surface wave is caused by an earthquake. When the earthquake causes primary, and secondary waves to interact, a surface wave is formed.
Why is the surface of a mirror smooth?
Otherwise the image formed will be blurred and mostly distorted. That is why we expect the surface of the mirror to be optically plane. Hence smooth.
Water waves are longitudial waves?
Waves formed on the surface of water are transverse in nature. But sound waves when propagated through water medium then that will be in longitudinal nature. Cannot be seen on the surface.
What is formed when an object which does not allow light to pass through is in the path of light?
Depends on the surface of the object that the light is projected on. If the object has a polished surface like an inoxidable steel, or the object is a mirror, the light will produce a reflexion or the light comes back when it hits the mirror. Behind any object, is formed a shadow, since such object is not a glass.
What does shadow mean in science?
A shadow is a dark shape formed when a body comes between rays of light and some surface.
