South African dude here. I was born inside that crater and my family still own farmland in it. It's way too big to even identify as a crater until you explore the mapping. Arguments have raged for several years now with people speculating that region of SA having had the worlds largest reserves of gold and platinum group metals due to the impact penetrating the crust so deeply and ejecting deep Earth material to the surface.

@EnGammalAmazon Месяц назад

It seems that the force of impact may also explain the presence of diamonds as well considering that they are the product of carbon under intense heat and pressure that would have been created by a meteor strike.

This is true. The original metals formed with the Earth all melted and sank into the core. All the ore we mine within a few miles of the surface that isn't volcanic, was deposited later from asteroid impacts. This is also where Canada gets its vast nickel deposits from

@mumble3535 Месяц назад

South Africa contains the Kaapvaal craton which is some of the oldest and most stable rock on the planet (it's more than 3 billion years old). Our geology is actually pretty interesting due to how extensive the geological record of the craton is given its age and its erosion resistance due to the arid climate of the region- although I recognise how "interesting geology" may sound like a bit of an oxymoron.

@joeelliott2157 Месяц назад

An extremely good video, presenting data in a well organized way. I like that only 'craters' that are well accepted by the scientific community are presented. A couple of interesting craters that I would have liked to see presented are: 1. The Chesapeake Bay impact helped form a bay that has been very important in American history. 2. The Cumberland Gap impact helped create the easiest path through the Appalachian Mountains, rediscovered by Danial Boone. This speeded up the Western Expansion of the settlers, getting them across the biggest physical mountain barrier to Western Expansion, greater than the Rocky Mountains, curiously enough. Another historically important impact.

@michaelhargus4316 Месяц назад

Born, raise, and spent most of the life in Hampton and everyone can tell where the outer rim of the Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater is. Inside the crater, the ground water is so salty and disgusting that one can't even water the grass without risk of killing it. Just a couple of miles outside, the ground water is fine. Outside some iron, the ground water is actually safe to drink and use.

@geslinam9703 Месяц назад

I read that the tsunami created by the Chesapeake Bay impact reached as far inland as the Blue Ridge mountains. Further north on the Atlantic coast is the Toms Canyon impact site, at the mouth of Toms River in NJ, where the river meets the ocean, and may have happened at the same time as the Chesapeake event.

@b.a.erlebacher1139 Месяц назад

Is there evidence of the Cumberland Gap being caused by an impact? AFAIK, it's a classic example of how rivers can maintain a pass by eroding their beds as fast as the mountains around them rise.

@c.v.hansen4903 Месяц назад

Interesting video; but I noticed that there was only one described crater which is under water. I assume that a meteor which strikes our planet is just as likely to hit any given spot on the planet, whether is it covered by water or not, and since about 70% of our planet is covered by oceans (not to mention the ice sheets which still or once covered major areas), the number of major hits our planet has taken may be much greater than what the land-based craters indicate.

@geogviz Месяц назад

Excellent point!!

@drex6347 Месяц назад

Indeed, but most oceanic craters disappear as oceanic crust is subducted. Pretty much all of the world's oceanic crust was created no more than 200 million years ago, so older impacts were purged from the record.

@Daneelro Месяц назад

There are multiple reasons for fewer known oceanic impact craters in spite of more area. One is that smaller impactors only form a very short-lived temporary crater in the ocean water. If that happens, all you can detect geologically is tsunami deposits and, if you're lucky, some seafloor deposits. There is one well-known example: the Eltanin impact 2.5 million years ago in the southwest Pacific off Chile (look it up). So only larger impacts produce a crater on the seafloor. A second reason is, obviously, that it is more difficult for geologists to explore the seafloor. A third reason was already named by drex6347: seafloors get subducted and thus are generally much younger than continental crust.

@MariaMartinez-researcher Месяц назад

Also, considering how little of the ocean floor has been mapped, how difficult is to reach it, and how difficult would be to notice a large crater covered by marine life in shallow depth or in the darkness of abyssal depth, finding any submarine craters at all would be an exploit.

@Danin4985 Месяц назад

The Wilkes Land crater under Antarctic sea ice should have been mentioned. 3 - 5 times the size of KT extinction asteroid. Permian extinction was most likely caused by this asteroid. The Siberian traps which suddenly erupted are antipodal to this crater. NASA’s GRACE satellite found evidence of the Wilkes Land crater by detecting a MASCON (mass concentration).

Great video! One other popular impact crater, but too far north to be seen on this map, the Hiawatha impact crater in northern Greenland. It impacted when Greenland was green with forests.

6:43, Ries Crater: Also worth mentioning is that the astronauts of Apollo 14 were taught here how to investigate and recognize the geological features of meteor craters. :)

Great video, thanks! I work in airborne gravity surveys and I was sure we found a buried roughly 8km diamater crater in West Africa. But our geologists reckoned it's an eroded circular intrusion. Sadly we never had a chance to go there and see if we could find tell-tale impact geology.

This got me to thinking about a huge crater that I happened upon when working in Saudi Arabia in 1983/84 when our driving. Just checking I found what is Black Crater near Hail. With the benefit of the internet now I see it is a volcanic crater. Still very impressive.

6:43 - - For the cathedral in the center of the town, built in the Middle Ages, the rock used in the walls is typical for the meteoric impacts.

I live close to sudbury and never knew i'm living in an impact crater super interesting.

@prtauvers Месяц назад

Fantastic video- clear, informative, insightful! I’ve been to Upheaval Done- could swear it is an exhumed salt stock or mud volcano in origin, not impact…
