Conclusion As my investigation has shown, impact cratering is an extremely interesting and important process. The landscape of many planets, including the Earth was formed by numerous small and enourmously large impacts. It first touched upon our lives when our planet was still hot and dead. It continued to change the life of our planet all the way through Chicxulib impact event, causing the appearance of mammals and, as a result, humans. It took the breath of millions of people witnessing shooting stars or larger events. It was a true enigma for scientist scince Ancient Times. It formed a perfect non-terrestial landscape in the middle of the USA. It gave food for mysterious legends in the 20th century. And who knows, what we may witness in the nearest future. So the only thing we can hope for is that it would never change evolutionary progress, but would strongly affect our culture, making our life full of complicated guess work and wonderfull scientific discoveries!
