Mateaser Meteors

This was a really nice experiment because I was free to play without too much fear of it going wrong! Here is a video of what happened (my video skills are improving slowly - yes, I laugh way too much but you can't hear what my Dad is doing in the background!)

The Earths suface is demonstrated by the cocoa powder and the flour underneath are the inner layers of the Earth.

Each of the 'meteors' did create pretty impressive craters but it is interesting to see the patterns of displacement from the meteors that came in from different angles

When the 'meteor' hit the ground straight down it displaced the top layer quite uniformly. The others clearly have exposed more of the lower layers layers in a particular direction.
