In the Gulf of Mexico, scientists will begin drilling the deepest a well whose goal will be the bottom of the famous Chiksulub crater, which was formed from the fall of a huge meteorite that, presumably, and entailed the extinction of dinosaurs on our the planet.
It is believed that in those days, distant from us by many millions of years, the earth shuddered at the terrible blow that exceeded the power of the atomic bomb dropped by the Americans in Japanese the city of Hiroshima, several million times. Wave from this tremors caused volcanic eruptions and earthquakes throughout planet, and dust and soot, raised into the air from the explosion, for a long time closed the sun and provoked acid rain – a long time came nuclear winter. All this was a disaster for almost everything. living on the planet, but all more from the fall of the meteorite suffered the largest land animals are dinosaurs.
Where is the Chicxulub Crater
By the way, the Chiksulub crater was discovered relatively recently – only in 1978 year. It was accidentally stumbled upon by oil workers who were looking in Gulf of Mexico deposits of black gold. First they found a seventy-kilometer arc under water, and then on land, that is on the Yutakan Peninsula, found its continuation. Crater Diameter is one hundred eighty kilometers, consider it “in all beauty “can only be from a great height.
Gravitational anomaly is recorded in the Chiksulub crater, and will also find impact quartz characterized by a squeezed molecular structure. It could only form under tremendous pressure. and the highest temperature, which once again confirms the assumption about a planetary disaster caused by the fall of a large meteorite in this place.
Drilling a well will allow scientists to find at a depth of about one and a half kilometers simple microorganisms and understand how reborn life is at the epicenter of the catastrophe, and on the whole – on the whole planet.
