During meteorite collisions, the extreme temperatures and pressures generated by the high-velocity impact can cause some rocks to melt. The kinetic energy from the meteorite is converted into thermal energy upon impact, leading to localized heating that can exceed the melting point of the rock materials. Additionally, the shock waves produced during the collision can further destabilize the rock structure, promoting melting and the formation of molten rock or impact melt.

Why did scientists once think there were volCANOES ON THE MOON?
The reason that this was that it was once the only thing that scientists could use to explain why the moon had so many craters on it (which we now know to be the product of meteorite and asteroid collisions).
What is a piece of stone that falls from earth's surface?
A piece of stone that falls from the Earth's surface is called a meteorite. Meteorites are rocks that survive the journey through Earth's atmosphere and land on the surface after being part of a meteoroid or asteroid in space.
What is the remainder of a meteor which impacts the ground called?
The remainder of a meteor that impacts the ground is called a meteorite.

Where did the meteorite hit when it killed the dinosaurs?
I think it hit the golf of Mexico
was a meteorite responsible for the extinctions in the mesozoic era?
paleontologists think but nobody knows its just a theory
How do you get a meteorite in Nintendogs?
You can find one randomly on a walk. It's rare though, so good luck.
Is there a such think of a new planet call planet x?
Don't think so. Some scientists think that but others thought it was just a really big meteorite.
What is the most valuble thing in Nintendogs?
I've been playing for a long time, and I think it's the meteorite.
How many rocks are there in England?
I don't think you can count rocks.
What do you call pieces of stone that enters the earths atmosphere?
I think the item you are looking for is a meteorite. Otherwise known as a meteroid Hope that helps, from the genius that is acing Science...
What is a meteorites revolution and rotation?
That will vary A LOT, depending on the specific meteorite. Note: Strictly speaking a meteorite is a "meteoroid" that's landed on Earth. If you think of this as a "trick question", the answer is "exactly the same as Earth's". That's because a meteorite is, strictly speaking, part of the Earth!
Do rocks and minerals provide food?
No I do not think so, because I can't think of anything that eats rocks.
