Experts from the Institute of Dynamics of Geospheres of the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have modeled the situation of what will happen to Moscow when the Earth collides with an asteroid up to one kilometer in diameter.
The asteroid data for a possible impact is taken from a real Apophis object. The planet has a real opportunity to face it.
A celestial object can enter the atmosphere at different angles of 30, 45 and 90 degrees. The destruction will hit everyone in the area up to 1000 kilometers. Houses and buildings will break down and burst, communication will be disconnected, wind will appear and its speed can be several hundred meters per second. In 10 minutes, the globe will be covered with a cloud of dust with a radius of 800 kilometers.
At 400 kilometers, a burning sensation from too high a temperature will be felt, and within a radius of 200 kilometers, clothes will burn on people, trees, grass and roofs of buildings will catch fire.
To accurately show the situation, she was depicted in Moscow. The asteroid will fall into the center of the capital and form a crater, into which the entire historical area will fall, up to approximately the Garden Ring. All living things will perish within the territory of the Moscow Ring Road. The Moscow region will burn, engulfed in fires. A wave of ionic disturbances will flow through Europe, which, having a global character, will last for several hours. Abnormal weather will be established on the globe for several years.
