Assume that an asteroid that hit Earth 65 million years ago was 10 km in diameter. Also assume that another 10 km asteroid will hit Earth in the future. If the amount of time that elapses between these consecutive impacts is equal to the average amount of time as given in Figure 2, a 10 km diameter asteroid will next hit Earth approximately: A. 35 million years from now B. 65 million years from now C. 100 million years from now D. 135 million years from now
What is A, 35 million years from now? (Figure 2 indicates that an asteroid with a diameter of 10 km hits the earth approximately every 100,000,000 years. If the last hit was 65 million years ago, the next one is do in 35 million more years, since 35 million plus 65 million equals 100).
