A massive asteroid slammed into the North Sea and unleashed a 330-foot tsunami
A decades-long mystery beneath the North Sea has finally been solved. Scientists have confirmed that the Silverpit Crater, buried 700 meters below the seabed, was created when a 160-meter-wide asteroid struck Earth roughly 43 to 46 million years ago. The violent collision blasted a towering curtain of rock and water 1.5 kilometers into the air and triggered a tsunami more than 100 meters high.
A large-scale study has finally solved the mystery surrounding the formation of the enigmatic Silverpit Crater in the North Sea. Scientists have confirmed the impact of a giant...
These crystals prove the hypothesis of the impact crater without a shadow of doubt, because they have a structure that can only be created by shock pressures
A tsunami of more than 100 meters hit the area of the current North Sea millions of years ago. After more than two decades, researchers have elucidated the origin of the crater hidden about 700 meters below the sea bottom, notes Mediafax. How the huge crater discovered in 2002 under the North Sea bottom of [...]
