| Iridium was found in this. | K-T boundary |
| This is the piece of evidence that Dr. Shoemaker used to prove his impact theory. | The presence of coesite at possible impact craters. |
| This impact with Earth was probably caused by a comet since there was no metor found at the impact site but there was a crater. | Tunguska |
| The reason Barringer Crater will not be seen a hundred thousand years from now. | Erosion |
