HaH 180	agglomeration of particles, many of which record individual, diverse histories	which depends on its composition	in volume %	in weight %	very weakly shocked	during meteor phase	oldest and most primitive rock in solar system	S2	in volume %	it fragments because smaller pieces with less mass are more easily slowed by the atmosphere	S2 shock stage chondrite	size is between 3 micrometers and 3 millimeters	usually plagioclase tectosilicate	during meteor phase which depends on composition	in weight %	crater	Hammadah al Hamra	recorded by eyewitness or inferred from dating methods	shock metamorphism		providing insight into geological evolution of parent asteroid	HaH 180	orthopyroxene for enstatite chondrite	the nature and degree of thermal metamorphism or aqueous alteration	undulatory extinction, irregular fractures			can be severe due to long exposure time to environmental corrosion agents	before, during or after other types of metamorphism	W4	definition goes here	HaH	in volume %	85.7 % of meteorite falls	during impact phase		small sphere of about 1 mm diameter of formerly melted minerals	lower because the fall was not witnessed	27 kg	definition goes here	when it hits the ground which is smaller than its velocity before it enters the atmosphere	less than 950 degree Celsius during its entire history since solidification	undulatory extinction, irregular fractures	undulatory extinction, irregular fractures, some planar fractures	asteroid smaller than 100 km in diameter	fine grained disequilibrium mixture of silicates, oxides, metal, sulfides and organic constituents	in volume %	which depends on degree of aqueous alteration and thermal metamorphism	28° 36.21' N., 13° 18.04' E.	in weight %	often minerals not found on Earth	large if the fall was witnessed	which can over an order of magnitude greater than total mass of fragment(s) collected at the impact site		April 1996	in weight %	0.936 kg		meteoroid from interplanetary space or fragment dislodged from another planet, moon or planetesimal	3	directly proportional to initial velocity	power outages and failures in electrical equipment due to EMP (electromagnetic pulse)	5 to 10 GPa	millimeters		which appears as an elongated footprint which depends on impact angle, airbursts, and impact velocity
