10 Largest Meteor Collision

10 Largest Meteor Collision |

Imagine staring at the night sky and see a small point, and the point of turning into larger doubled, until the night sky looks a bit brighter, then you realize that the point size of the city of Bandung, then split the night air with the speed of sound coming right towards you are.


Impact of the damage as Mega tsunami, earthquake, volcanic eruption in the corners of the earth and the loss of daylight to dark for years, for those who survive it will kill you slowly.


The result now we will see the largest crater in the area - the other hemisphere regions hit by an asteroid ever, is based on the diameter of the left.

 10. Barringer Crater, Arizona, United States

49,000 years ago a stone the size of "only" 150 ft and weight + / - 300,000 tonnes of contained nickel and iron with a speed of 40,000 miles / hour hit Earth |
results of this meteorite strike could be seen 55 miles east Flasgaff, Arizona USA called Barringer Crater. This crater is the best preserved crater until now, with the same power that it generates 20 million tons of TNT explosion!

The results are diameters 148 ft (45 m) with a depth of 175 m, found by Daniel Barringer in 1902 for mining, up to this day is still a family-owned crater Barringer. Also called Meteor Crater, Coon Butte, and Canyon Diablo.

 

 09. Bosumtwi, Ghana

Located at 30 km south-east of Kumasi, Ghana. Famous for its natural lake when the lake Bosumtwi is the impact of a meteor impact 1.3 million years ago.
Diameter 10.6 km depth of 45 m. Continuous rains flooded the former makes the collision formed a lake. Local belief that the lake is the place where dead souls to confront the god Twi.

 

 08.Deep Bay, Canada

Located in Southwestern Lake in Saskatchewan, Canada with a width of 13 km and a depth of 220 m occurred about 100 million years ago. Judging from the structure, indeed terrifying collision.

 

07. Aorounga impact crater, Chad

Aorunga area when a meteorite is equal to 1 mile (1.6 km) that hit the Earth around 2-300 million years ago, in an area of ​​the Sahara desert in the north of Chad, Africa, the collision may occur approximately 1 million years .

 

06. Gosses Bluff, Australia

Around 142 million years ago a comet with a width of 22 km hit land Autralia, with a speed of 40 km / sec, can be equated to 22,000 megatons of TNT explosion, wow. . . abandoned pretty impressive results which have a diameter of 24 km with a depth of 5000 m.

 

05. Mistastin Lake, Canada

Located in Labrador, Canada. Mistastin lake is a form of meteorite hit the Earth the result, the result is a hole with a diameter of 28 km was gaping in the earth's crust.

 

04. Clearwater lakes, Canada

Wooaaw. . . which is even more powerful, about 290 million years ago an asteroid hit the earth close to the twins Hudson Bay coast Canada, the result hole with a diameter of 32 km from a large asteroid, and 22 miles from a small asteroid.

 

03. Kara-Kul, Tajikistan

At an altitude of 13,000 feet (3,900 m) above sea level, there are Kara - Kul. also known sebagaiQarokul: 16 miles (25km) wide lake in the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan, near the Chinese border. The lake is actually located within 28 miles (45km) wide circular depression, which was hit by a meteorite approximately 5 million years ago, Kara-kul only discovered recently, through satellite imagery.

 02. Manicouagan, Kanada

Manicouagan Reservoir (Lake Manicouagan) is also known as the "eye of Quebec", about 212 million years ago to 5 km wide asteroid that hit the earth, leaving a giant hole with a diameter of 100 km.

01. Chicxulub, Mexico

Buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico, near the village of Chicxulub (which means "tail of the devil" in Mayan), this is an ancient crater with the greatest impact with diameter 107 km. The collision occurred approximately 65 million years ago when a comet or asteroid about the size of a small town mengahantam (equivalent to 100 teratons of TNT) in the Earth and cause a mega-tsunami, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions around the world.
Luckily, God still love despite the destruction of his servants on earth still occurs, try if God is angry, the collision may be occurred in the days of modern humans.
