Asteroids contain Iridium

2. An Asteroid hit earth 65 million years ago and wiped out the dinosaurs.

3. The Asteroid was the size of Mount Everest.

4. The energy released from the Asteroid collision was equal to that of 100 million nuclear bombs.

5. The crater was found on the Yucatan peninsula and called the Chicxulub crater.

6. Asteroids don't burn up like shooting stars.

2. The bigger an asteroid is, the larger the crater is.
3. If a meteor burns up in the atmosphere before it collides with the Earth's surface, it is called a shooting star.
4. Asteroids are made up of ice, gas, and cold rock.]]> 2017-10-03 20:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648587 https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648598 1. Asteroids have caused mass extinctions and catostrophic events in the past.
2. They have  iridium in them.
3.  The bigger the asteroid the larger and deeper the crater.
4. An asteroid landing in the ocean could cause a masive tsunami which could be worse than it landing on land.
5. The difference between a shooting star and an asteroid is that shooting stars burn up when they enter the Earth's atmosphere and asteroids don't. ]]> 2017-10-03 20:46:18 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648598 https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648613 Asteroids:
1. Asteroids can have a huge impacts on environments. An example can be how they can in the simulation, we saw how an asteroid can cause earthquakes and other dangerous disasters.  
2. Asteroids contain an element called Iridium that is only found deep inside Earths mantel and in outer space.
3. It is hypothesized that the extinction of the dinosaurs was caused by an asteroid that hit the Yucatan Peninsula around 65 million years ago. 
4. Asteroids can very in many different sizes and shapes. The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs was 11 kilometers in diameter and Apophis was around 100 feet in diameter.
5. If an asteroid were to hit Earth, it would cause tsunamis, earthquakes, a rise in CO 2 levels and volcanic eruptions. 
6. The difference between shooting stars and asteroids is that shooting stars are tiny meteors that die out before hitting Earth while asteroids are larger and pose a threat to the planet.]]> 2017-10-03 20:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648613 https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648616 1. They have high levels of the element iridium. 
2. They don't burn up in the atmosphere like shooting stars
3. An asteroid weighing more than Mount Everest caused the mass extinction of the dinosaurs 
4. An asteroid impact big enough can cause series of natural disasters like tsunamis and earthquakes
5. They are mostly made out of rock and rarely made out of iron

1. Contains iridium 
2. They don't burn up like shooting stars
3. They can cause many tsunamis, fires,  and earthquakes
4.  They come in many different sizes and shapes
5. CO2 levels can change
6. Wiped out the population of dinosaurs ]]> 2017-10-03 20:46:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648625 https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648637 1. Asteroids contain a lot of iridium 
2. Asteroids have varied sizes.
3. A large asteroid could have cause the mass extinction that occurred at the K-T Boundary.
4. When they hit the ground, they cause a large explosion.
5. They roam around in space and when they get off course they run into a planet and enter its atmosphere.
6. If an asteroid was to land in the ocean, it could cause a large tsunami.
7. When a asteroid strikes land, a large earthquake can occur.]]> 2017-10-03 20:46:31 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648637 https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648641 1. Asteriods have a lot of irriduim 
2. depending on the size of the asteriod thats the size of the crater
2 the law of supersition that says the3
 young layers are on the top  and the older are on the bottom ]]> 2017-10-03 20:46:32 UTC https://padlet.com/kmlopez/vlndv2j17z9/wish/193648641
