  • Meteorites are extraterrestrial rocks that have ended up on earth. All of them are literally 'out of this world,' but here are three of the strangest of these aliens.

    I have to disagree here. They don't form at different pressure/temperature conditions due to their chemical composition but rather the pressure/temp. conditions let them form in a certain crystaline structure.
    It's why you have quarz at lower pressure and coesite at high pressure conditions - both made out of SiO2.

    Just a thought, but instead of a primordial planet would it not be more plausible to be the object that hit the earth and created our moon?

    • @tildessmoo
      @tildessmoo Před 4 lety

      Considering that object (generally called Theia) would have been bigger than Mars, I'd say it qualifies as a primordial planet itself. That actually is one of the hypotheses being thrown around, but there's not really any way to prove it one way or the other, so it's pure speculation and not worth taking valuable screen time to mention.

      A car tyre is generally inflated to 35 psi.
      20 Gpa is about 80 thousand times greater - than the pressure inside a 14" radial .
      The pressure that is your body feels (at sea level) = 1 atmosphere (1at)
      20 GPa is 200,000 atmospheres.
      or 20 million tonnes per square meter (t/m²).

    I know. Almahata Sitta is a remnant of Planet 9. The reason we can't find planet 9 is that it was destroyed in a collision but its gravitational effects remain until something equally big rolls through the Kuiper Belt and rearranges things again. Whatever collided with Planet 9 must have been similar in size and they collided in a way that obliterated them both, creating a large number of the small objects that make up the Kuiper Belt.
