The material from the impact stretches across the ocean to include the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Java.

Since the 1960s, it has been accepted that the strewn field included Hainan in southern China to Australia or about 10% of the Earth's surface. This was later extended by finds in Africa and Tasmania to 20%. Recent additional finds in northern Tibet and Guangxi increased the strewnfield to about 30% of the Earth's surface, or almost 150 million km, or about the size of the entire world's landmass.
Tektites (from Greek , "molten") are gravel-sized bodies of natural glass. They come in green or brown (usually). They are formed from terrestrial debris ejected during meteorite impacts. The term was coined by Austrian geologist Franz Eduard Suess (1867–1941). They generally range in size from millimeters to centimeters. Millimeter-scale tektites are known as microtektites.

Hall–Héroult process
The Hall–Héroult process is the major industrial process for smelting aluminium. It involves dissolving aluminium oxide (alumina) (mainly gotten from bauxite, aluminium's chief ore, through the Bayer process) in molten cryolite, and electrolysing the molten salt bath, usually in a purpose-built cell. The Hall–Héroult process applied at industrial scale happens at 940–980 °C and produces 99.5–99.8% pure aluminium. Recycled aluminum requires no electrolysis, thus it does not end up in this process. This process contributes to climate change through the emission of carbon dioxide in the electrolytic reaction.

Scientists have seen it as high as 1601 meters above sea level; it can live in forests, coastal areas and places are a little dry.
These frogs lay eggs after it rains, at any time of year. The males wait near temporary bodies of water and sing for the females. The females sometimes lay eggs in shallow limestone basins. The eggs sit on the top of the water in a film. The tadpoles are brown with a lighter stripe. They grow to 1.3 cm in length and then begin changing into frogs.
Adult Mexican tree frogs hide during the day in the shade or under tree bark. They look for food at night. They eat insects, spiders and other animals with no spines. People have seen Mexican tree frogs in the tops of palm trees.
This frog can make a cocoon. This frog sheds the skin cells on the very outside of its body. The cocoon stops water from leaving the frog's body.

Intrusive thoughts are obsessive (repeating) unwanted thoughts that someone has that make them feel sad, angry, annoyed, embarrassed, depressed, or even suicidal that led them to feel anxiety or sometimes, even panic attacks. It is normal for everyone to have intrusive thoughts, though some people find it very hard to move on from them because they feel so real.
Intrusive thoughts are most common in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), which is when someone with OCD gets intrusive thoughts that give them extreme anxiety and cause them to do the same ritual over and over again because they feel like bad things will happen if they don't do it. The difference between someone who has OCD and someone who does not is most people without OCD are able to ignore the thoughts, but people with OCD feel like they are holding them back and will not leave them alone. Intrusive thoughts are also associated with depression, body dysmorphic disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

History of Arabia
Arabia has been home to Semitic people for thousands of years. These people include the Arabs, but not all Arabs live in Arabia. People from the Arabian Desert, known as Bedouins, herded animals as nomads. They were grouped into extended families and tribes. People from other parts of Arabia lived in villages and towns.
Around 3000 BC, people near the Persian Gulf were trading with Mesopotamia. Dilmun, which is now Bahrain, was the center of trade. By 2000 BC, parts of South Arabia were trading with Ancient Egypt. During the peaks of their empires, Assyria and Babylonia controlled North and West Arabia.
Sometime around 1000 BC, the kingdom of Saba' appeared in South Arabia. There were also other kingdoms in South Arabia, including Ma'in and Hadhramaut. In the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, Parthia expanded into South and East Arabia. Saba' and Parthia became rich, because of trade between Egypt and India. In the 1st century BC, Saba' conquered Ma'in. Near Saba', around 115 BC, the kingdom of Himyar appeared. In North Arabia, Nabat became an important trading kingdom in the 5th century BC. In 106 AD, the Roman Empire took control of Nabat. Parthia lost some wars to Rome, and then left East Arabia. The Bedouins expanded their area into more parts of Arabia. Many of them moved to the East and North.
By the 4th century (300-400) AD, Himyar conquered all other kingdoms of South Arabia. Christianity came to Arabia, from Abyssinia and Syria. Some people in Himyar followed Judaism. A Jewish king of Himyar killed many Christians. Abyssinia and Rome ruled by Justinian were both Christian countries. In 525 they attacked Himyar. In North and Central Arabia, two kingdoms had appeared in the 3rd and 4th centuries AD: The Lakhmids and the Ghassanids. The Sassanid Empire from Persia supported the Lakhmids (and Himyar), and Rome supported the Ghassanids. These two empires were at war. In the 6th century the Bedouins fought each other in wars called the Jahiliyyah.
In 610, Muhammad, an Arab from Mecca, claimed that God was speaking to him. The people of Mecca, mostly from the Quraysh tribe, worshipped many gods. Muhammad said that there was only one God. Muhammad founded the religion of Islam, and his followers, called Muslims, conquered Arabia by war. After Muhammad died in 632, men called caliphs ruled the Muslims in empires called caliphates. These include the Rashidun, Umayyad, and Abbasid caliphates. Some parts of Arabia, including Oman, were not always part of the caliphates. Rulers from the 900s to the 1200s included the Fatimid Caliphate, Seljuk Empire, and Ayyubid dynasty. Islam was divided into two forms called Sunni and Shi'a, who fought wars against each other. Yemen and Oman were ruled by different people at times, including the Rasulid dynasty in Yemen.
The Hashemite Sharifs of Mecca ruled the Hejaz (Western Arabia) region starting in the 900s. The Mamluk Empire from Egypt had control over the Sharifs in the 1300s. In 1517, the Ottoman Empire from Turkey conquered the Mamluks. The Ottomans took control in the Hejaz, Yemen, and other parts of Arabia. However, European countries wanted to control more of Arabia, so they fought wars against the Ottomans. Europeans, mainly the Portuguese, won some cities on the coast in the 1500s and 1600s. Persia won control in Oman, but Oman also built its own empire. In the 1700s, a new form of Islam called Wahhabism spread to nomads in central Arabia. In the 1800s Wahhabis led by the House of al-Saud went to war against the Ottoman Empire. Britain helped the Wahhabis and gave them countries along the Persian Gulf. Britain also took part of Yemen into the British Empire. In World War I, the Allied Powers fought against the Ottomans. The Ottomans lost the war, so the Allied Powers broke up their empire into smaller countries. In 1932 Ibn Saud, from the House of al-Saud, founded the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
