An effect on Ghana if an object greater than 10km in size from space collided with the earth in Accra will be a devastating one.

Explanation:

  • The effect of a "space object "with a size "greater than 10km" in diameter would felt over the whole Earth surface. Litter articles would positively obliterate the environment
  • The question can be answered by comparing a similar asteriod that hit the planet Earth some 66 million years which had "wiped the dinosaurs off" from the face of the Earth, and this asteriod was was also greater than 10km in diameter. The asteroid that hit in Mexico, was at the end of the Cretaceous era.  This famous asteroid had hit Earth around  66million yrs ago in the "present-day" town of "Chicxulub" in Yucatan Peninsula state of Mexico. This asteroid was around 11-81km in diameter.
  • The asteroid heated & emitted "organic matter" in rocks & soot formed in the stratosphere into the atmosphere. Soot is a potent, light-absorbing aerosol which has led to global climate changes which had caused the "mass extinction of dinosaurs", & other livestock and resulted in mammalian macro-evolution and human appearance..
  • If the object is greater than 10 kilometers collided with the Earth in Accra, Ghana the resulting global environmental damage would be massive and enormous that it would lead to "mass extinction", wherein most life forms die. So the impact will be felt not only in Accra, but also across the globe
