Hi Ed,
Since ejecta would start out with the same rotational motion as the
Earth, at what point and by what mechanism would you inferring that it
"decouples" from Earth and looses that rotational component of its own
motion? Good question, though!
Best wishes,
Doug

Subject: [meteorite-list] Tektite fields and rotation
Hi all -
I wonder what effect the rotation of the Earth plays
in the distribution of the tektites from their impact
crater. Their trip must take some time, and the Earth
must rotate under them during that time.
Any ideas?
good hunting,
