What else can I help you with?
What mountain range formed because India collided with Asia?
The Himalayas formed when the Indian tectonic plate collided with the Eurasian plate around 50 million years ago. This collision caused the Earth's crust to crumple and uplift, creating the tallest mountain range in the world.
How did the moon form when the earth collided with another celestial body?
The moon formed when a celestial body collided with Earth, causing debris to be ejected into space. This debris eventually came together to form the moon.
What is an object that crashes into Earth called?
An object that crashes into Earth is called a meteorite.
What is a layer of iridium deposited all over earth?
The layer of iridium found all over Earth is known as the iridium anomaly. It is believed to have originated from a large asteroid impact that occurred around 66 million years ago, leading to the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. The presence of this iridium layer is one of the key pieces of evidence supporting the theory of an asteroid impact causing the mass extinction event.
If you were 80 pounds on earth how much would you weigh on an asteroid?
Your weight on an asteroid would depend on its size and mass. Since asteroids are much smaller than Earth, your weight would likely be significantly lower than 80 pounds, due to the weaker gravitational pull.
What happened when one or more large asteroid collided with earth about 65 million years ago?
it shaped the moon
Why the asteroid belt has not collided into the earth?
Most of the asteroids in the asteroid belt have stable orbits around the sun well beyond any gravitational influence from Earth worth noting.
How many years does it take an asteroid to happen?
An asteroid to happen? Asteroid cannot 'happen'. It can collide with earth, or any other object with mass, though.
What position started the moon?
a currently popular theory is that the moon came about when an asteroid collided with earth, ejecting what is now the moon into near-earth orbit.
What happened when an collided with earth 65 million years ago?
Dinosaurs died
What are NEAs?
Most asteroids are in the Asteroid Belt between Mars and Jupiter. But a few do come close to the Earth; these are called Near Earth Asteroids. You can see a list of NEAs, and the dates that they will come closest to the Earth, at www.spaceweather.com. Asteroids and comets have collided with the Earth in the past, and someday one will collide with Earth in the future. Depending on the mass of the asteroid, the damage could be catastrophic. 65 million years ago, scientists now believe that an asteroid or comet hit the Earth, causing the extinction of the dinosaurs and most life on Earth.
Describe what happened 65 billion years ago when there was a cosmic collision with earth?
Earth did not exist 65 billion years ago. However 65 million years ago an asteroid collided with Earth, triggering a mass extinction even that wiped out a wide variety of organisms, including the dinosaurs.
Where did the asteroid 'chicxulub' come from?
The Chicxulub asteroid is believed to have come from the asteroid belt located between Mars and Jupiter. It is thought to have been a fragment of a larger asteroid that collided with Earth around 66 million years ago, leading to the mass extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs.
Is a asteroid smaller or bigger than earth?
Smaller. Something as big as the Earth would have so much gravity that it would probably have collided with something else and been eliminated
The mass extinctions that occurred 250 million years ago and 65 million years ago may have been due to gradual process or?
A large comet or asteroid striking earth
Why do you think an asteroid crashed into earth?
Because it was headed towards earth. It was bound to happen.
What would happen if another asteroid the size of the on that hit earth 65 million years ago?
wouldn't matter because we would be extinct and no one would be around to worry about it.
