How can a large asteroid impact in one spot on Earth affect the climate of the entire Earth?
A) The impact releases greenhouse gases that immediately make Earth warmer.
B) The impact blasts a hole through Earth's mantle, allowing hot metal from the core to rise up and heat the world.
C) The impact blasts debris into Earth's atmosphere that blocks sunlight, making Earth's surface cooler.
D) The impact tears a hole in Earth's atmosphere, allowing heat energy to escape and thereby cooling our planet.
