What natural disaster is caused by earthquakes but could also be caused by an asteroid?
earthquakes cause fires and tsunamis. earthquakes are caused either ice bergs falling down from somewhere e.g iceland or antarctica, or from the tetonic plates clashing together, or they go after volcanic eruptions
Why does an asteroid have many craters?
An asteroid has many craters because each asteroid was a big rock that broke into many peices
What part of speech is the word asteroid?
Some people think the dinosaurs died when an asteroid hit the earth.
Compare and contrast of earthquakes and tsunamis?
Volcanoes and earthquakes are similar but different at the same time. Similarities: *Caused by tectonic plate movement *Usually cause a lot of damage *Almost always very dangerous Differences: *When an earthquake happens it can literally make a volcano erupt *Cause different types of damage EX: Volcanoes burn stuff and earthquakes destroy it *Vary in sizes
Is the earth inside or outside the asteroid belt?
From the sun it goes Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, ASTEROID belt, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto (although no longer classed as a planet). So the earth is inside the orbit of the asteroid belt.
What book is about a young hero who cleaned his volcanoes regularly on asteroid?
There is no book in the Heroes of Olympus series that is about "a young hero who cleaned his volcanoes regularly on asteroid".
If the Earth was struck by a asteroid the most devastating consequences would be?
(considering it was a huge asteroid) The world would be blackened out in some areas from the dust, there would be huge tsunamis ( if it hits the ocean)and earthquakes, and many volcanoes may erupt. plus millions of people would die.
Why have craters left by asteroid impacts on earth disappeared?
Asteroid impact craters are destroyed by weather, erosion, and earthquakes.
What was the object that struck the earth over 4 billion years ago?
An asteroid. This was not what killed the dinosaurs, though. The dinos were destroyed by erupting volcanoes which may or may not have been influenced by the asteroid.
Is a tsunami a type of weather?
No, tsunamis are caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or asteroid impacts, which then displace a massive amount of water, in the form of multiple tsunami waves. Earthquakes, volcanoes, and asteroids have nothing to do with the weather.
What could have caused the dinosaurs to go extinct?
an asteroid hitting the earth, drought, volcanoes, disease, or rising sea levels
Do all tsunamis start with earthquakes?
No. Tsunamis may be caused by landslides, volcanic eruptions and, on rare occasions, asteroid impacts.
What are 3 things that can cause Earth's surface to change?
The weather, meteor and asteroid impacts, and plate tectonics cause changes in the surface features of the Earth.
Where is the worlds largest crater caused by asteroid?
Many of the large (astroblemes) craters have been eroded by weathering over time so it can be difficult to be sure one was caused by an asteroid. Several large lakes in Canada are thought to be remnants

What is true about a asteroid?
They vary in many different sizes.
What is the most likely next natural catastrophe?
Earthquakes are the most unpredictable of natural disasters. With Tornadoes, hurricanes and Volcanoes there are usually warning signs. Also avalanches, landslides, mudslides can occur without warning.
