What else can I help you with?
Imagine a large meteor hits earth and causes major flooding earthquakes cooler weather and large waves coming to shore Describe which aspect a scientist from each of the four major fields of earth?
Geologist: The geologist would study the impact of the meteor on the earth's crust, causing earthquakes and changes in the landscape due to shifting tectonic plates. Meteorologist: The meteorologist would analyze the changes in weather patterns caused by the meteor impact, including cooler temperatures and increased precipitation leading to flooding. Oceanographer: The oceanographer would investigate the impact of the meteor on ocean currents and the generation of large waves that could potentially lead to coastal flooding and erosion. Seismologist: The seismologist would focus on studying the seismic waves generated by the meteor impact and the resulting earthquakes, assessing the magnitude and distribution of the seismic activity.
How does a meteor get to earth?
well the meteor would be sucked in by the earths gravitational pull
What effect could a meteor have if it hit the earth?
It really depends how big it is because if it was a very LARGE meteor it could spread dust in the air from the meteor landing! And if there's dust in the air of course we cant breathe very good. However if it was a little meteorite it would shake the ground when it would land if you were near it.:) But since two-thirds of the earth is covered by the oceans, a LARGE meteor would cause a HUGE tsunami to slosh around the world a few times. That would flood every coastal city, which means most of the big cities in the world.
Could a meteor take over the whole Florida?
No, a single meteor would not be able to take over the whole state of Florida. Meteors are space rocks that burn up in the atmosphere or impact the Earth's surface in a localized area. The size of a meteor would not be large enough to cover an entire state like Florida.
Would a 20000 mile wide meteor destroy the earth?
A 20,000 mile wide object would not be a meteor; it would be a planet significantly larger than Earth. In that case Earth, which is about 8,000 miles wide, would definitely be destroyed.
What happens if a meteor goes through earth?
Life as we know it would disappear. It's not possible for a meteor to punch a clean hole through the Earth. So a meteor big enough would crack the Earth into pieces. These might eventually be pulled together again by gravity, but the planet would be unrecognizable.
Will the Earth end if a giant meteor hits earth?
No. Earth has suffered many large asteroid collisions before and is still going strong. The main effects if it is large enough - and it has to be very large - would be on Life, due to sharp but temporary climate-change caused by the resulting dust in the atmosphere.
What would it be like on earth if it still had rings?
a meteor would hit earth every five seconds
If a meator hits earth will the world be over?
If the meteor was large enough it might significantly affect the environment as to make life difficult. It would have to be extremenly large (moon size) to destroy the earth. However no asteroids of this size exist in our solar system.
What would happen if a rock from space was coming to Earth is it possible for every one on Earth to break that rock with making a sound?
The atmosphere density will cause the meteor/ meteorite to heat up and break apart. No, if everyone on earth makes sound on earth the meteor/ meteorite will not break up. But still a large asteroid will cause mass destruction if it lands in the right spot.
If the earth is traveling at a speed of 64000 mph and a meteor the same size moving at the same speed collides with earth will you be thrown off?
That depends on where you are on the Earth and where the meteor hits. ________________ Wherever you are on earth, if an object the size of the earth collided directly with us (at that size it would be a rogue planet, I think, rather than a meteor) then certainly all life on earth would come to an end, and likely within minutes.
How would you defend us from meteor hits?
i would use a large laser that would destroy it in a beam of light.
