Final answer:
Meteorites can come from the cores of asteroids, the crusts and mantles of asteroids, Mars, and the Moon.
Step-by-step explanation:
Meteorites can come from:
- A) the cores of asteroids.
- B) the crusts and mantles of asteroids.
- C) Mars.
- D) the Moon.
- E) all of the above.
Meteorites are the debris from space (mostly asteroid fragments) that survive to reach the surface of Earth. Fragments blasted from large impacts on Mars or the Moon can escape and collide with Earth, resulting in meteorites from these celestial objects. The classification of meteorites depends on their composition, which can include irons, stony-irons, or stones. Therefore, all of the given options, A, B, C, D, and E, can be sources of meteorites.
