Specs: Now greatly eroded, the Kara crater is a non-exposed impact structure in Russia. The lake is of particular interest to scientists because it has never been covered by glaciers. Lonar Lake, also known as Lonar crater, is a notified National Geo-heritage Monument, saline, soda lake, located at Lonar in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India.Lonar Lake is an astrobleme created by a meteorite impact during the Pleistocene Epoch. The Burckle crater is an undersea feature about 29 kilometres (18 mi) in diameter, in the southwestern Indian Ocean.. The Vredefort impact structure / f r d f r t / is the largest verified impact structure on Earth. In contrast, an impact crater is the surface expression of an impact structure. Meteor Crater, or Barringer Crater, is a meteorite impact crater about 37 mi (60 km) east of Flagstaff and 18 mi (29 km) west of Winslow in the desert of northern Arizona, United States.The site had several earlier names, and fragments of the meteorite are officially called the Canyon Diablo Meteorite, after the adjacent Caon Diablo. It is accessed via the Tanami Road 150 km (93 mi) south of the town of Halls Creek.The crater is central to the Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater National Park.. Map all coordinates using: OpenStreetMap Download coordinates as: KML This list includes all 60 confirmed impact craters in North America in the Earth Impact Database (EID). Traces of Catastrophe book from Lunar and Planetary Institute - comprehensive reference on impact crater science Notes [ edit ] ^ Bevan, Alex. Location: Nenetsia, Russia. It is estimated that the meteorite that formed it was about 15 metres (49 ft) in diameter The lake island in its centre is known as Ren-Levasseur Island, and its highest point is Mount Babel.The structure was created 214 (1) million years ago, in the Late Triassic, by the impact of a meteorite 5 km (3 mi) in diameter. These features were caused by the collision of meteors (consisting of large fragments of asteroids) or comets (consisting of ice, dust particles and rocky fragments) with the Earth. A large bolide impact created the 100-kilometre (62 mi) diameter crater approximately 35 million years ago during the late Eocene epoch (Priabonian stage). These planes, which show up as lines under a microscope, are called planar deformation features (PDFs), or shock lamellae. Above a certain threshold size, which varies with planetary gravity, the collapse and modification of the transient cavity is much more extensive, and the resulting structure is called a complex crater.The collapse of the transient cavity is driven by gravity, and involves both the uplift of the central region and the The KPg boundary marks the end of the Cretaceous Period, the last period of the Mesozoic Era, and marks the beginning of the Paleogene Period, the first period of the A large bolide impact created the 100-kilometre (62 mi) diameter crater approximately 35 million years ago during the late Eocene epoch (Priabonian stage). Its center is offshore near the community of Chicxulub, after which it is named.It was formed slightly over 66 million years ago when a large asteroid, about ten kilometers (six miles) in diameter, struck Earth.The crater is estimated to be 180 kilometers Under intense pressure (but limited temperature), the crystalline structure of quartz is deformed along planes inside the crystal. Because the United States Board on Manicouagan Reservoir (also Lake Manicouagan) is an annular lake in central Quebec, Canada, covering an area of 1,942 km 2 (750 sq mi). The Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB), or lunar cataclysm, is a hypothesized event thought to have occurred approximately 4.1 to 3.8 billion years (Ga) ago, at a time corresponding to the Neohadean and Eoarchean eras on Earth. It is accessed via the Tanami Road 150 km (93 mi) south of the town of Halls Creek.The crater is central to the Wolfe Creek Meteorite Crater National Park.. It is located in the Tajik National Park in the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan An impact crater is a depression in the surface of a planet, moon, or other solid body in the Solar System or elsewhere, formed by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller body. Lonar Lake, also known as Lonar crater, is a notified National Geo-heritage Monument, saline, soda lake, located at Lonar in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India.Lonar Lake is an astrobleme created by a meteorite impact during the Pleistocene Epoch. For eroded or buried craters, the stated diameter typically refers to an estimate of original rim diameter, and may not Lake Bosumtwi is the only natural lake in Ghana.It is situated within an ancient impact crater that is about 10.5 kilometres (6.5 mi) in diameter. It is about 23 km (14 mi) in diameter and was formed 31-32 million years ago during the Early Oligocene . Description. Eugene Merle Shoemaker (April 28, 1928 July 18, 1997) was an American geologist.He co-discovered Comet ShoemakerLevy 9 with his wife Carolyn S. Shoemaker and David H. Levy.This comet hit Jupiter in July 1994: the impact was televised around the world. In contrast to volcanic craters, which result from explosion or internal collapse, impact craters typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain. It might be linked to the EoceneOligocene extinction event. The remaining structure, comprising the deformed underlying bedrock, is located in present-day Free State province of South Africa.It is named after the The other three basaltic impact These features were caused by the collision of large meteorites or comets with the Earth. These planes, which show up as lines under a microscope, are called planar deformation features (PDFs), or shock lamellae. The basin is located on the Canadian Shield in the city of The Sudbury Basin (/ s d b r i /), also known as Sudbury Structure or the Sudbury Nickel Irruptive, is a major geological structure in Ontario, Canada.It is the third-largest known impact crater or astrobleme on Earth, as well as one of the oldest.

Hans Merensky (16 March 1871 21 October 1952) was a South African geologist, prospector, scientist, conservationist and philanthropist.He discovered the rich deposit of alluvial diamonds at Alexander Bay in Namaqualand, vast platinum and chrome reefs at Lydenburg, Rustenburg and Potgietersrus, which led to some of the largest platinum mines in the world, phosphates and When large objects impact terrestrial planets such as the Earth, there can be significant physical and Outcrops of the Elliot Formation have been found in the northern Eastern Cape, southern Free State, and in the eastern KwaZulu-Natal provinces of South Africa.Outcrops and exposures are also found in The Alvarez hypothesis posits that the mass extinction of the non-avian dinosaurs and many other living things during the CretaceousPaleogene extinction event was caused by the impact of a large asteroid on the Earth.Prior to 2013, it was commonly cited as having happened about 65 million years ago, but Renne and colleagues (2013) gave an updated value of 66 million Continued slumping of sediments over the rubble of the crater has helped shape the Chesapeake Bay The basin straddles the old provinces of Transvaal and the Orange Free State, and These planes, which show up as lines under a microscope, are called planar deformation features (PDFs), or shock lamellae. It is about 30 km (19 mi) south-east of Kumasi, the capital of Ashanti, and is a popular recreational area.There are about 30 villages near the crater lake of Lake Bosumtwi, with a combined population of about 70,000.

Shocked quartz is a form of quartz that has a microscopic structure that is different from normal quartz. The Chicxulub crater (IPA: [tikulub]) is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatn Peninsula in Mexico. Impact events have physical consequences and have been found to regularly occur in planetary systems, though the most frequent involve asteroids, comets or meteoroids and have minimal effect.

A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon.When the original object enters the atmosphere, various factors such as friction, pressure, and chemical interactions with the atmospheric gases cause it to heat up and radiate Eugene Merle Shoemaker (April 28, 1928 July 18, 1997) was an American geologist.He co-discovered Comet ShoemakerLevy 9 with his wife Carolyn S.
