H. ELABORATE: A near-Earth object (NEO) is any small Solar System body whose orbit brings it
into proximity with Earth. They include about thirteen thousand near-Earth
asteroids (NEAs), more than one hundred near-Earth comets (NECs), and a
number of solar-orbiting spacecraft and meteoroids, large enough to be tracked in
space before striking the Earth. It is now widely accepted that collisions in the past
have had a significant role in shaping the geological and biological history of the
planet. NEOs have become of increased interest since the 1980s because of
increased awareness of the potential danger some of the asteroids or comets pose
to Earth.

Simulation
EXPLORE: 1. Fill the rectangular tray with colored flour about 3-4 centimeters deep.
D. 2. Place the tray on top of a table (or armrest of a chair).
3. Throw a pebble to hit the flour in the tray. Do this about four times,
hitting different parts of the flour in the tray.
4. In the space below, draw the shape of the “craters” made by the
pebble on the colored flour as:
EXPLAIN : 1. What do you notice about the shape of your pebble’s crater and the
