Meteorite

Hello my name is Thanialee and I go to the [|Amigos school]. With the knowledge that the HMNH ([|Harvard Museum of Natural History]) gave me I can do a wiki sharing the information I gathered, so people can be familiar with what causes earth’s surface to have changes, such as Meteorites. The places were I went to study all this information is called the HMNH is located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. It’s a museum were you can study different topics like Science and Social Studies. You would be amazed of such a small place to have so much information. I really think that you should visit the HMNH, It’s a great place trust me.

As I said before Meteorites are one of the causes why earth’s surface is changing. Meteorites could be big or small but because of the speed that they travel towards earth they make immense impacts on earth’s exterior. There is a difference between meteor and meteorites. Meteor is a small body of matter from outer space that enters earth’s atmosphere, becoming incandescent as a result of friction and appearing as a streak of light and meteorites are objects that come from space and hit earth’s surface leaving huge craters. Meteorites come into earth because the orbit of the asteroid belt changes so the meteorites fall into earth. In summary, meteorites make a big part of the changes that are occurring on earth’s exterior.
