The news about the discovery of the world’s largest asteroid impact crater is huge, if true—323-miles-in-diameter huge.. Researchers at University New South Wales (UNSW) believe they’ve
The same principle applies to complex impact craters on Earth larger than ∼2 to 4 km in diameter (not shown here). (A) The ∼1.2 km-diameter and roughly 50 kyr-old Meteor Crater (aka Barringer Meteorite Crater) in Arizona is one of the best-preserved simple impact craters on Earth (e.g., Shoemaker, 1960; Kring, 2017b). Its ejecta blanket

Our Earth is a dynamic planet, as clearly illustrated on the main map by its topography, over 1,500 volcanoes, 44,000 earthquakes, and 170 impact craters. These features largely reflect the movements of Earth’s major tectonic plates and many smaller plates or fragments of plates (including microplates). Volcanic eruptions and earthquakes are
Burckle crater. / -30.865; 61.365. The Burckle crater is an undersea topographic feature about 29 kilometres (18 mi; 16 nmi) in diameter [1] in the southwestern Indian Ocean. A team of Earth scientists called the Holocene Impact Working Group proposes the feature to be an impact crater; these claims are disputed by other geologists.
