Upper-atmosphere winds make extrapolation challenging, Reddy said. For a meteor to survive the trip through the atmosphere and fall onto the ground as a meteorite, it has to slow from its cosmic velocity. The friction from the atmosphere makes the meteor glow visibly between 30 and 65 miles above ...

In a future activity, Simmons will team with presenter Stan Bryant, a pastor at Rozel, who takes people on archaeological and paleontology trips in the Utica area. The pair will present the process of catastrophes caused by earthquakes, volcanos, meteor impacts on land and water, tsunamis and more.
Did you know fact for the day; The world's largest visible crateris in South Africa
Cape Business News
Around 2,030 million years ago a meteor the size of a mountain (about 10km across) fell to earth in South Africa's Free State making a crater 300km across; it is the oldest crater made by either a comet or meteorite and reportedly the site of the largest energy release in history. In 2015, scientists claimed ...
Volcanoes, Then an Asteroid, Wiped Out the Dinosaurs

It suggests that other volcanic activity around the world was triggered by the meteor. Seismic waves moving through the Earth, he said, may have accelerated volcanism already occurring along mid-ocean ridges. "Our work suggests a connection between these exceedingly rare and catastrophic events, ...
