The Crater’s ‘Peak Ring’

A vertical ‘sploosh’ results from an impact with an asteroid, with the earth rising at 1000 miles per hour to create mountains taller than Mt. Everest, only to instantly collapse due to continuous explosions, leaving behind a ring known as the ‘Peak Ring’.

The impact’s energy measurement is approximately 1,300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 kilojoules for the size of a rock that can destroy our planet. The temperatures created on impact exceed that of the surface of the Sun.

• When a high-impact asteroid or smaller rocks known as meteors rush towards Earth, the atmosphere behaves like it is water being hit by pebbles.
• The rocks burn away in the friction when colliding with the atmosphere, with the giant asteroids (those the size of a mountain) having the...
