The meteorite that struck Earth approximately 49,000 years ago created the Barringer Crater, also known as Meteor Crater, located in Arizona, USA. This impact event is one of the best-preserved meteorite impact sites on Earth and is about 1,200 meters (4,000 feet) in diameter. The crater was formed by a nickel-iron meteorite about 50 meters (160 feet) in diameter, which struck the Earth at a speed of about 20 kilometers per second (45,000 miles per hour).

What fault will occur at a transform boundary?
A Transform fault boundaries are where two plates are sliding horizontally past one another. They sometimes even get stuck. the longer the time before the plates slip, the stronger the earthquake.
What type of boundary is along strike slip faults?
Strike-slip faults are typically associated with transform boundaries, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes along the fault line, as the plates can become stuck due to friction before releasing suddenly. The most well-known example of a strike-slip fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Do trains get hit by lightning?
Trains, like many other objects, do get struck by lightning. Usually, this is a minor matter. Trains are large metallic objects that are extremely well grounded in the electrical sense, so even the rather large current of a lightning strike can flow directly through the train to the tracks and to the Earth with no consequence. There are exceptions and there are cases where a lightning strike has resulted in a power failure on a train with serious consequences. But, the normal directly inflicted damage from a lightning strike is really so small as to go unnoticed.
Where did earth get its moon?
The Giant Impactor Theory proposes that a small planet the size of Mars struck the Earth just after the formation of the solar system, ejecting large volumes of heated material from the outer layers of both objects. A disk of orbiting material was formed, and this eventually stuck together to form the Moon in orbit around the Earth.
When does earth crust move?
The tectonic plates of Earth's crust are always moving, but the movement is far too slow to be perceived without sensitive measuring equipment. For example, the northward movement of India at the rate of two inches per year is considered fast. Usually the only times we perceive the movement of Earth's crust are when part of a tectonic plate gets stuck, and the movement of the rest of the plate causes potential energy to build up in the stuck part until it has enough energy to free itself and catch up with the rest of the plate. That is how most earthquakes happen.
Why is the door latch stuck in the strike plate?
The door latch may be stuck in the strike plate due to misalignment, dirt or debris blocking the mechanism, or a faulty latch mechanism.
What is the difference between stuck struck?
Stuck: means you cant get out of something, as in "you are stuck in quicksand." ("Stuck" is the past tense of "stick") Struck: means to strike or hit something, as in "he struck the fence with the bat" ("Struck" is the past tense of "strike")

If you mean punched, he punched him because Todd stuck a pencil up Bud's nose and was bugging or tormenting him
How does the moon follow the earth when the earth goes round the sun?
The moon follows the Earth because it is stuck in Earths gravitational pull.
