Abstract

The asteroid collision with the Earth surface is a natural disaster with a low probability of occurrence and great danger.From the perspective of disaster effects,this study summarizes the disaster effect of asteroid collision with the Earth surface into three categories:photothermal radiation effect,near-surface atmospheric shock wave effect and impact effect.The characteristics of the disaster chain effect from asteroid collision with the Earth surface are systematically discussed from the two dimensions of space (local and regional) and time (instantaneous,short-term and long-term) of disaster occurrence,and a relatively complete model of the disaster effect from asteroid collision with the surface is summarized systematically.It is very significant to further study on the disaster effect of asteroid impact on the Earth surface and the development of special rescue model adapted for asteroid impact disaster.
