narration of the story, sections of the story are interrupted with facts and statistics about meteors; most specifically Chicxulub, the meteor that ended the lives of the dinosaurs.

landslides, earthquakes, volcanoes, meteors, and floods. Today in this article the two topics of Meteors and floods will be the main focus. These disasters can change the earth an astronomical amount. For meteors such things as their craters and their effects on the climate.
