Answer:

Meteoroid , meteor and meteorite

Explanation:

A meteoroid is a small rocky or metallic body travelling through space.  Most are fragments from comets or asteroids

The visible streak of light from space debris is the result of heat as it enters a planet's atmosphere, and the trail of glowing particles that it sheds in its wake is called a meteor, or colloquially a "shooting star" or "falling star". A series of many meteors appearing seconds or minutes apart, and appearing to originate from the same fixed point in the sky, is called a meteor shower. Incoming objects larger than several meters (asteroids or comets) can explode in the air. If a meteoroid, comet or asteroid or a piece thereof withstands ablation from its atmospheric entry and impacts with the ground, then it is called a meteorite.

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces

Explanation:

                   The main view of the world worked geologically prior to the 1960s was that the mountains were formed by the vertical forces of nature.

                    The early people prior to 1960s believed in many different natural phenomenons and they give their own reasons for their occurrence. But later many researchers and geophysicists studied the formation of the earth and came with possible answers to these questions.

Thus the answer is  

" It was generally believed that mountains were produced by vertical forces."
