Nemisis
(noun) Global warming will have an impact on the Earth's temperature. The impact of the collision crushed the rear of the car. (verb) Craters on the Moon are caused when meteoroids impact the surface. The dentist worried that the patient's wisdom tooth would impact, and require removal.
Earth and Mars are both terrestrial planets. Both planets have about the same amount of dry land surface areas. Mars, like Earth, has volcanoes, canyons, and impact craters.
A mare is a smooth, dark area on the surface of the moon. A crater is a huge hole caused by a meteor or meteorite. Hope that satisfies you! If not come back soon and i'll have another answer.
things that impact everything on earth
2/3 of the planet is covered by water. Then we have land. Land, sometimes referred to as dry land, is the solid surface of the Earth that is not permanently covered by water.
Impact craters on the moon have no water/weather to erode the craters away, but on Earth the erosion erases the craters over time.

mass extinction events throughout history. These craters provide evidence of the catastrophic effects of asteroid or comet impacts on the Earth's surface, leading to significant environmental changes and extinction events. Scientists study these craters to better understand the impact events and their potential implications for future planetary protection.
There are a huge number of craters on the Earth, including very small impact sites. There are about 65 named and documented craters on the planet.
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars all have impact craters.
The Earth has weather patterns that have eroded most of the craters on Earth. The moon has no weather, therefore no erosion.

Asteroid impact craters are destroyed by weather, erosion, and earthquakes.
Earth is geologically active and has wind and water to erode craters. The moon is geologically dead and has no atmosphere and thus no erosion. There is nothing on the moon to destroy impact craters.
On average the craters on Moon are larger than the Earth's because the Moon has no atmosphere to shield from impactors and no weathering processes.
We know not. The existence of Nemesis is a hypothesis - a possible explanation for a perceived regularity in mass extinctions in the past. it has neither been confirmed, nor is there sufficient evidence to discard the possibility of such a star.
When asteroids impact Earth, they often create craters, which are bowl-shaped depressions formed by the explosive release of energy upon impact. These impacts can also lead to significant geological changes, such as shock waves, heat, and the ejection of materials into the atmosphere. In some cases, large impacts can cause mass extinctions or climate changes due to the debris and dust released.
