What is the crater shiva?
The crater is a large geological feature located on the coast of India. It is assumed that it is a crater of impact, caused by the collision of the asteroid with the ground, although some scientists have thrown on this theory. Whatever it caused, the Shiva Crake is certainly gigantic and it seems that it created about 65 million years ago, at about the same time as the Cretaceous Extriction event. Some scientists think that the Shiva Crater can be associated with this historical event. It also also deformed significantly, as the seabed does not always spread evenly and the earthquakes and other events further disrupted its shape. The reconstruction suggests that the crater is of a tears and measures about 249 x 373 miles (400 x 600 kilometers). The crater was appointed Indian researcher prohinduistic god of destruction and rebirth. By exploring the mineral composition of Deccan's traps, scientists hope to learn more about the Shiva crater and its relationship to the decitian pastes and the K-T boundary, which is a distinctive geological signature that comes from a switches of the Cretaceous.
According to those who believe that the crater of Shiva was caused by a collision, the collision contributed to the events of the extinction of chalk-Terciars, in which many species around the world disappeared. Several other craters have been discovered in other Earth areas, indicating that the planet could be bombarded by a number of asteroids that could simultaneously cause great damage to the Earth's atmosphere and starting geological events such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Scientists by exploring structures such as Shiva crater hope to learn more about Earth's life and important events in the history of the planet. If the Shiva Crater was actually created by a catastrophic collision, it could help explain why so many species during the chalk during the chalk-TERICIAL event, and it could explain the mineral composition of the K-T boundary associated with this period in geological history.
