Answer:

Hope this answered your question!~ (Sorry if you get it wrong or I got it wrong-)

Step-by-step explanation:

When an impact event happens, the enormous kinetic energy of the asteroid or meteorite – a massive body travelling at high speed – is partly transferred to the Earth but largely converted into heat and sound, creating pressure waves travelling radially outwards from its centre, similar to that of an atom bomb.
