Basic Facts about Meteorites Click here to read all about meteorites! If you want to identify a meteorite, you should know these basic facts: 1. Meteorites are attracted to magnets. 2. Meteorites are very heavy. 3. Meteorites are not radioactive. http://www.fas.org/irp/imint/docs/rst/Sect19/mix1.jpg http://aerolite.org/found-a-meteorite.htm
Why is Meteoritics Important? Scientists study meteoritics because meteorites tell people about... 1. the evolution of the Solar System. 2. the evolution of stars. 3. the geologic history of Earth and the Moon. 4. the history of life on Earth. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFtTrHyD7dc (voice recording) www.youtubeinmp4.com http://meteorites.asu.edu/meteorite-facts/important http://www.rsc.org/images/meteorites-300_tcm18-161452.jpg Click here to listen to Dr. Richard Court talk about meteorites.
Classification of Meteorites There are 3 basic ways to classify meteorites: stony, stony-iron, and iron. Stony meteorites can also be classified to chondrites and achondrites. http://www.meteorite.fr/en/classification/ http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Images/NWA7466-mm.jpg
Meteor Impact Craters Meteor Impact Craters are made by meteorites when the object collides with a planet or a moon. This is the famous Meteor Crater in Northern Arizona! http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/Astro_p010.shtml#background
Fun Facts Very few meteoroids fly into the Earth's atmosphere and back again, which are called Earth grazing fireballs. Meteorites are mostly found in Antarctica, Oman, Africa, and Australia. http://meteorites.wustl.edu/lunar/year_histogram.jpg (graph) http://www.sciencekids.co.nz/sciencefacts/space/meteoroids.html
