might not happen at all. Theorist say that anywhere from a five to ten mile asteroid traveling anywhere from thirty to forty thousand miles per second could hit the earth and destroy all in many ways. If a fireball were to hit a solid part of the earth the explosion could create the vall of fire that cover the whole earth and kill all that is living in a matter of time. What if it was to hit the ocean? An asteroid that is that big and coming that fast could cause major damage to the earth.

It has been discovered that these craters that have been created by asteroids and meteors crashing into the surface of the moon have caused the dents to have a convex floor rather than a concave floor that one would expect. It seems unusual that a meteor or an asteroid that can hit the moon’s surface would create a convex floor in the craters. This discovery only further supports the theory of the hollow moon because

organized by those minerals‚ it is possible that they could have eventually taken over the clay’s job and done it themselves. The final hypothesis‚ called the Panspermia hypothesis‚ states that life originated from space and evolved from the asteroids that carried them here. It was presented in 1864 by Louis Pasteur‚ Lord Kelvin‚ Hermann von Helmholtz‚ Stanely Miller‚ and Harold Urey‚ but its strongest evidence was found more recently. There were microscopic organisms that survived exposure to
