A meteor gets yanked from its fly-by path by a mountain. |
Man has lived with the fear of falling astroids since time immemorial.
The dinosaurs are said to have been rendered extinct by a fallen asteroid.
There are several large size craters in some parts of the world which serve as evidence of fallen space objects, usually meteors or steroids.
Still we have in our immediate history events of relatively big meteors falling in our world with minor consequences.
The gravitational anatomy of 'near Earth objects' has it that meteors are yanked from their orbits by mountains when they come too near the Earth at certain times of gravitational fluctuations in the solar system.
To understand better about the process, let us see more about gravity in 'The General Theory Of Gravitational Dynamics And Life '.
According to the theory 'gravity is defined as a charge of matter in motion, with it's magnitude being proportional to the mass and speed of the moving body.
This means that the gravitational power of a space rock depends on its size and speed.
A high speed space rock has a higher gravitational charge which make it attrack towards any highpoint gravitational entity such as a mountain.
On getting close, some times, the gravity of the mountain can overwhelm the speeding rock making it splash into the atmosphere to land in adjecent plains.

In normal times, a speeding meteor or asteroid gets deflected upwards by mountain gravity until its orbital decay makes it slow down enough to a point where instead of deflecting away it gets yanked downwards out of orbit causing it to splash in to the atmosphere.
A big mountain in the orbital path of a satellite can contribute to its orbital decay reducing its service time and eventually making it splash in to atmosphere prematurely.
