Description
Consider the following discussions and write a minimum 3 sentence response to each question
Suppose an asteroid or comet is on a collision course with Earth:
1. Which object do you think would do the most damage and why? Discuss some of the factors that govern which object would damage us the most.
2. Discuss what you would do to counter the asteroid or comet impact (hint: some sci-fi movies may come to mind). Which method(s) would be the most effective against an impact and why? Which method(s) would be the least effective against an impact and why?
3. Do some research and find out what is the likelihood/odds/percentage that the Earth gets hit by an asteroid in the next 100 years (name your source of information). Compare that percentage to the odds of winning the jackpot for any lottery (again name your source)…which has the better odds? Does this surprise you? Why or why not?
