What happens when a comet or an asteroid hits earth?
You usually get a crater, with surrounding damage.
How does the drop height of an object affect the size of the crater it forms?
The drop height of an object affects the size of the crater it forms by influencing the amount of kinetic energy the object has upon impact. A higher drop height results in more kinetic energy, leading to a larger and deeper crater. The relationship between drop height and crater size is not linear due to factors such as material properties and angle of impact.
Why are some craters on the moon bigger than others?
It all depends on the amount of kinetic energy the crater has when it hits the moon. The larger the height, and the more kinetic energy the crater has when it hits the moon the larger the diameter of the crater and the more deeper it is. Hope this helps!
How far away is the Crater constellation from earth?
Like all constellations, they are made up of stars - each one it's own unique distance from Earth. Therefor a constellation isn't a specific distance from Earth.
When a meteor hits the Earth it may form this?
When a meteor hits the Earth, it may form a meteorite, a crater, or airburst. A meteorite is a piece of rock or metal that has fallen to Earth from space. MeteoriteOpens in a new window Meteorite A crater is a large, bowl-shaped depression in the ground that is formed when a meteor impacts the Earth. CraterOpens in a new window Crater An airburst is a phenomenon that occurs when a meteor explodes in the atmosphere before it reaches the ground. AirburstOpens in a new window Airburst The type of impact feature that is formed depends on the size and speed of the meteor, as well as the composition of the ground that it hits. Smaller meteors that hit the Earth at high speeds tend to vaporize completely, leaving no impact feature behind. Larger meteors that hit the Earth at slower speeds may form craters. The largest craters on Earth are thought to have been formed by asteroids, which are much larger than meteors. Airbursts are most likely to occur when a meteor enters the Earth's atmosphere at a very high speed. The heat generated by the meteor's passage through the atmosphere can cause it to explode before it reaches the ground. Airbursts can cause significant damage, but they do not typically leave any impact feature behind. The impact of a meteor on Earth can have a number of consequences, including: The formation of a crater or airburst The release of dust and debris into the atmosphere The potential for widespread damage or destruction The impact of a meteor on Earth is a rare event, but it is a potential hazard that should be taken into account.
When a meteor hits the earth what does it form?
When a meteor hits the Earth it forms a crater.
How do craters get to the earth?
When a meteor hits Earth, it forms a crater, or hole in the ground , made by a space object.
What is formed when a meteor hits the earth?
a CRATER
What make a crater form volcano?
Probably from the earthquake that happened when the crater hit the earth. The lava rushes to the surface, melting the crater, and it forms a volcano.
What happens when a comet or an asteroid hits earth?
You usually get a crater, with surrounding damage.
What is a good sentence for crater?
people found a crater on earth.
Why does the moon craters than the earth?
There is no weathering on the moon so the crater marks do not blend in. Also, the Moon does not have an atmosphere to protect it from smaller debris, so every meteor that hits it leaves a crater instead of burning up in the atmosphere, like most do on Earth.
What is lava magma and crater?
Lava is molten rock that flows on the Earth's surface during a volcanic eruption. Magma is molten rock beneath the Earth's surface. A crater is a bowl-shaped depression near the summit of a volcano that forms after an eruption.
What crater forms when a volcano erupts?
A divergent
What is a flooded crater?
A crater that is formed when there is an impact (usually by an asteroid) that forms cracks. The cracks are then filled by lava.
What effect will a 65ft diameter asteroid have on earth if it does hit the earth?
It will create a crater similar to the Barringer crater (Meteor crater).Where it actually hits will determine the overall destructive effect.Oceans: TsunamiCities: Total destruction.Barren land: Crater.
A forms when magma slowly rises up inside the crater of a larger volcano.?
When magma slowly rises up the inside the crater of a larger volcano, it forms a Lava Dome.
