Question

A scientist finds a piece of rock in a crater. He analyzes the rock and realizes that the composition is mostly of iron and nickel. He claims that he found a meteor. What is most likely the scientist’s error?

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is : His analysis of the composition is not correct.

Explanation:

The answer is actually an asteroid (if there was that option), so that marks out A and D. Also he used the word crater correctly so that marks out C, so the answer must be B: His analysis of the composition is not correct.

I really hope this helps!

• The streak of light seen in atmosphere when the meteoroid burns up on its way through the atmosphere is a meteor.
• The meteoroid which lands up on the surface of the planet is known as meteorite.
• So, when a scientist found a piece of stone in a crater, He actually found a meteoroid.
