SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -The probable sum of these effects is the destruction of vegetation over an area 800 to 1500 km2. Damage to vegetation would have extended over an additional 200 to 600km2. Animals within 3 to 4 km of the impact site would probably been killed, with maiming injuries extending out to distances of  16 to 24 km.

Detailed explanation-2: -Meteorite Impacts in History A very large asteroid impact 65 million years ago is thought to have contributed to the extinction of about 75 percent of marine and land animals on Earth at the time, including the dinosaurs. It created the 180-mile-wide (300-kilometer-wide) Chicxulub Crater on the Yucatan Peninsula.

Detailed explanation-3: -The shock wave fractures the rock and excavates a large cavity (much larger than the impactor). The impact sprays material-ejecta-out in all directions. The impactor is shattered into small pieces and may melt or vaporize. Sometimes the force of the impact is great enough to melt some of the local rock.

Detailed explanation-4: -The rock and pieces of meteorite fall back to the ground as piles of debris. As the ground rebounds, the movement causes the sides of the transient crater to collapse. center of the crater floor to rise and form a hill. The central hill reaches its final height, and the melted rock cools into solid ground.
