Hi David and List, Interesting theory. I am a little confused at what this new research is trying to say. Are they claiming that the volcanism from the Deccan Traps is largely responsible for the mass extinctions and that the coincidental meteorite impact aggravated the problem? Or, are they

[meteorite-list] Does Friction or Ram Pressure Cause Meteor Ablation

2011-11-18 Thread JoshuaTreeMuseum
I know it was discussed awhile back about whether atmospheric friction or ram pressure causes meteor ablation, but I don't remember if the science was ever settled. If you Google the question, the overwhelming majority of hits say it's friction with oxygen, argon and nitrogen molecules that

Re: [meteorite-list] Does Friction or Ram Pressure Cause Meteor Ablation

2011-11-18 Thread Chris Peterson
Friction is not a great term. But the answer is both... which is dominant depends on the size of the meteoroid with respect to the mean free path between collisions with atmospheric particles. Objects on the order of a centimeter or larger are mainly heated by ram pressure effects. Objects
