    As someone from Sudbury i had no idea we were in an i.pact crater that big, i knew there were craters and thats why the nickel mining was so big but not like that. Small anecdote about sudbury, Nasa used to test their lunar rovers here because the landscape is so similar to that of the moon! :)

    There's the remains of an ancient crater near Chicago called the Kentland Crater in Kentland, Indiana. The crater has disappeared due to erosion and glaciers. What remains is the rebound dome of rocks that were horizontal when the meteor hit, then got shoved down from the impact to shoot back up to form a dome with the layers standing vertical. Geologists figured at least 900 feet of the dome has eroded away or pushed away by glaciers. The base of the dome is around 3 miles in diameter so the crater was quite wide. There is a website about it. Two farmers discovered the solid rock layers just below the surface so decided to turn that land into a rock quarry. It's still in operation so one can drive by to look at the vertical layers and pick up a souvenir outside the fence. Those are rocks that show shearing.

    An asteroid with a diameter of approximately 300 km to 500 km falls in the Democratic Republic of Congo and collides with Earth! The asteroid falls at an angle of 48 degrees and passes through the Earth. As it passes through the Earth's mantle, two donut mantle convection currents occur. One is an underwater mountain range (rift valley, ridge) that extends from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. The second is the Pacific submarine mountain range (oceanic ridge, rift valley). Donut mantle rises due to heat! So, when it meets the crust, the crust separates. The remaining submarine mountains (rift valleys) are caused by two donut mantle convections following the Himalayan asteroid impact. In other words, the asteroid fell into the sea east of South Africa (now Tanzania). As it pierced the Earth and passed through the Ural Mountains, two donut mantle convection currents occurred. The angle fell at an angle. The first donut mantle convection created underwater landforms from the Australian South Sea, underwater rift valleys (undersea mountain ranges), and from the Philippine Sea to New Zealand. The second donut mantle convection gave rise to Arctic ocean ridges and rift valleys. In other words, two giant asteroids will fall and the continent will split (split)! Other large asteroid impacts have pulled or stretched convection currents in the otherwise circular donut mantle, causing the African continent to become uncircular! For reference, the primary vortex (donut mantle convection) of the asteroid that fell in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Africa, was cut off by the asteroid impact in the Himalayas. The tip of the cut donut mantle rose to become the island of Iceland. (Donut = doughnut)

    I know this list is for above sea level mountains - volcanos but I'd like to add to this super video the island of the Azores >> ..According to the Guinness Book of Records, Mount Pico of the Azores is the highest underwater mountain face in the world. Above sea level, it rises an impressive 7,700 feet (2.3km) as an almost perfect volcanic cone with a sharp top. Underwater, however, it plunges deeper than it rises above sea level, descending 3km to the nearby sea floor, and eventually a total of 6,000 meters to the Atlantic’s lowest point to the far south. It’s a monster of a mountain. If the Atlantic was still below you it’d be impressive enough, but without it, the full glory of this epic massif is revealed.... No wonder the locals call it Magic Mountain ., proud & fortunate to have climbed this monster of a peek not once, not twice but 3 times & I can honestly tell you there are no more beautiful & breathtaking sunrises & sunsets then from the top of Mount Pico , a 360 degrees view above the Atlantic Ocean & with an Ocean of stars, galaxies, planets & so on above you , you truly feel like you're on top of the world & in outer space at same time,, a very special & unique feeling indeed , a feeling that changed my & many others life for the better... all of the 9 islands are a true paradise, good thing respectful & thankful people who treasure nature inhabit this special place or else this unique place would have been destroyed years ago... Thanks for the upload.

    134°F in Death Valley. I've been in 129°F in the shade, and that was unbearable because of elevated humidity. We watched our lawn go from green to brown and apparently dead in less than an hour that afternoon. The soil subsurface temperature was over 180°F at 1 inch below the surface. It was impossible to wear black shoes in the sunlight without scalding your feet. We were drinking cold lightly salted water by the pint all day, and taking cold showers every couple of hours. But at 04:00 the next morning, the temperature was 34°F. There is no way that I would want to experience outdoor temperatures of 134° in a desert with limited amounts of drinking water.

    I may be wrong but... (means I'm probably wrong) ... Theres a region above Pretoria in South Africa stretching from Gaborone to Sabie of approx 500km that looks like impact damage. The whole Xinjiang province in china possible impact crater maybe 2000km, but biggest impact crater I think, is between Antarctica and South America. Over 2250 km wide.

    If vast portions of the Western Plains in the USA are Mesozoic .. that is all there was. There are no glaciers ever having scoured down to Creataceous or Ordovician in Kentucky. Most of the meteor impacts are Recent Ice Age Hits... Particularly with late Cenozoic Pliocene Pleistocene strata surrounding

    The Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater, hiding in plain site, where the Chesapeake Bay meets the Atlantic Ocean in Eastern Virginia, has been identified as the Largest impact crater in North America. The tsunami from this event reached the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Salt water from the ancient sea was thrust into fresh water aquifers. Glass spherols were scattered from Texas to Georgia and beyond. The course of fresh water rivers, to include the James River were altered. Core drilling has determined that the asteroid impact reached a depth that equals the Grand Canyon. The Chesapeake Bay Impact Crater has the distinction of being spanned by both the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and Tunnel systems, constructed before the impact site was “discovered”. Bravo to Dr. C. Wylie Poag and the USGS for the research and dedication to confirm this massive impact event…….hiding in plain site here in Virginia, the United States and North America.

    The craters in the Baltic countries were said to be places of spiritual/religious importance. Charlemagne and his people started building churches on top of the old places that the “pagans” congregated at and then you get the town like the one in Germany with the church at the center of an impact crater. The Natchez Indians on the MS river were said to have a meteorite inside of their main house. Their belief system is close to some western tribes and they believed they descended from people in that area. I’m sure the Native Americans found the meteorite to be extremely valuable, as most peoples around the world did in some fashion. Knives and other things made from meteorites were something to have as a king or a chief. I firmly believe that we’re only told part of the story when it comes to meteorites and it’s prolly best that we don’t know the whole story. It’s a really interesting thing to think about k about.
