When you consider the Earths history stretching over billions of years, its clear that meteorite impacts, far from being unexpected, are just a normal part of the life cycle of our planet. But that is not how they seem to us. The Chebarkul meteorite

Most of the damage from an explosion like this is actually the blast wave. Its the very high winds. Mark created a simulation to see what size an asteroid would need to be to be able to generate such destructive power. In this simulation I include mo
