Question

Directions: Select the correct text in the passage.Which phrases help clarify the meaning of the word disintegrated?

Answer 1

Convinced that Gilbert must have missed meteoritic iron deposits beneath the surface, Barringer began to mine the crater. This venture lasted for 27 years, but it produced nothing. However, his hard work laid the foundation for future scientists, who now believe that the meteorite disintegrated on impact because of the immense heat that it created. They have concluded that the meteorite's impact was equal to the explosion of 20 million tons of dynamite. This explains why the iron was sprayed across the plains and not deposited in the crater.
