An unknown big huge impact and crater top 10 made by a great crash of meteors on the earth

"Destroyed the dinosaurs"Craters formed at the time of a collision of meteorite, which are said to be said to be extremely huge craters having a very beautiful circular shape when viewed from above the sky, craters growing into a lake over a long period of time, It is a huge size crater that seems unnoticed even if walking on. Since it is only the size that you can see from the satellite, you can see the full picture on Google Maps.

10 Greatest Major - Impact Craters on Earth: Environmental News Blog | Environmental Graffiti

◆ 1:Barringer · Crater(Arizona State, USA)

"Ballinger crater" discovered in 1902 was formed by about 300 thousand tons of nickel or iron lumps hit the earth about 49 thousand years ago. The impact at the time of this collision is said to have the same effect as 20 million tons of TNT powder. Crater's name is geologistDaniel BarringerNamed after Mr. Ballinger, his family now owns this crater. By the way, this crater is said to be one of "the most beautifully preserved craters".

◆ 2:Bosmuthui lake(Ghana)

"Bosmuthui Lake" is a huge hole with a diameter of 10.5 km due to the collision of the meteorite about 1.3 million years ago, which was gradually filled with water and grew to the present lake. It is surrounded by dense tropical rainforest, so it seems that Ashanti living in the area thinks it is the subject of terror.

◆ 3: Deep Bay (Saskatchewan Province, Canada)

Located in the south of Lake Reyndia in the state of Saskatchewan is the "Deep Bay" lake. The shape is drawing a beautiful circle, it is a very shallow lake. It was formed by huge meteorite collision about 100 million years ago, and the diameter is about 13 km.

◆ 4: Aorunga (Chad)

"Aorunga" in the Sahara desert in northern Chad, Africa is a crater with a diameter of 17 km, which was thought to have been made when a meteorite of about 1.6 km in diameter collided with Earth 200 - 300 million years ago. It seems that some people look at Google Maps as black banded patterns but think that this is a crater's trace at the time of another crash and that it is formed by multiple craters overlapping .

◆ 5:Gossys Bluff(Australia)

About 124 million years ago, a huge asteroid or meteorite collided near the center of Australia at a speed of 40 km / sec and released energy equivalent to 22,000 megaton TNT powder. This is "Gossis Bluff". Previously it seems that there was about 24 km in diameter, but now it is considerably eroded.

"Mistastin Lake" located in the Labrador area of ​​Canada is made by filling the gigantic hole of 28 km diameter made by meteorite collision of 38 million years ago with water.

◆ 7:Clearwater Lake(Canada)

A pair of crater lakes formed by collision of two asteroids near the east coast of Hudson Bay about 290 million years ago is "Clearwater Lake". The larger West Clearwater Lake is 32 km in diameter and the smaller East Clearwater Lake is 22 km in diameter.

◆ 8:Lake Karakuri(Tajikistan)

Located near Tajikistan · China border of Pamir Plateau is "Lake Karakuri". It is formed at the altitude of 3900 m, about 5 million years ago by the collision of asteroids, the diameter is about 25 km, the circumference is 45 km. The lake is said to have been recently discovered by satellite photography.

◆ 9:Maniagangan crater(Canada)

Approximately 220 million years ago, an asteroid with a diameter of 5 km collided with Earth and formed a large crater of 100 km in diameter. This crater is the annular lake "Maniquagan crater" in Central Québec, Canada. It is also known as the "eyes of Quebec".

◆ 10:Chikushurube crater(Mexico)

The 170 kilometer diameter "Tikshu Rub crater" buried beneath the Yucatan peninsula in Mexico is located in the Mayak language close to the Chikulku Valley meaning "devil's tail." The fall of this meteorite is caused by collision of a comet or asteroid as small as a small town 65 million years ago with Earth (same power as 100 Teraton TNT powder), destructive gigantic tsunami everywhere, earthquake, volcanic eruption And it is widely believed that it caused extinction of dinosaurs by causing a greenhouse effect that causes long-term environmental change from the global fire storm.
