Can anyone explain this frost phenomenon?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Marshall Zellner What is the causes of frost?

C). The
Importance of meteorite impact craters in geology?
Earth ScienceAsked by: Lynn Sudd Why are meteorite impacts important? In summary, we propose that meteorite impact events are a fundamental geobiological process in planetary evolution that played an important role in the origin of life on Earth. We conclude with the recommendation that impact craters should be considered prime sites in the search for evidence
