Scientists have found the world's deepest impact crater, located deep on the ocean floor off the Australian coast.
The largest collision structure in the world
In a new study of the structure off the coast of New South Wales, Australia , experts Andrew Felixson and Tony Yates say they believe the crater , called the Deniliquin structure, is the largest impact structure in the world.
Previously, the 186-mile-wide Vredefort impact structure in South Africa was the world's largest.
The structure formed about 445 million years ago during a period known as the Late Ordovician, according to scientists' estimation.
discover structures
The study claimed that discovering structures of this type is difficult, due to erosion and the concealment of deep waters, according to the British Daily Star newspaper.
Detailed maps have been created to suggest where the asteroid might hit Earth, and scientists are using geological discoveries to improve their understanding of the phenomenon. This includes finding examples of ejecta, material that separates from Earth when a space rock hits, and can end up far from the impact site.
entrance to hell
It is worth noting that the deepest artificial hole on earth was dubbed the "entrance to hell", after miners dug 40,000 feet below the surface of the earth.
The scariest holes deep in the earth
On the ground there is a large group of frightening pits that some may describe sometimes as "the gates of hell", some of which hide unsolved mysteries so far, and among those scary places:
Kola Well: The depths of this artificial hole extend to about 12,262 meters deep in the earth, but it is covered with a rusty metal cover. It lies beneath our feet, requiring digging to unknown depths.
The diameter of the hole of the Kola pit is 23 cm, and the metal cover is covered with it, so it is unlikely that anyone will fall into it. Hell" on her.
Gate of Hell: Another Soviet experiment known as the "Darvaza gas crater" and also as "Gate of Hell" or "Hell crater", one of the most unusual places on earth, is located in the Karakum desert in Turkmenistan.
The crater has been burning without interruption since 1971, which baffled scientists, with a diameter of 70 meters and a depth of 98 meters. The crater gained the name "Gate of Hell" from the locals, and it is a mixture of boiling mud and huge orange flames.
The crater arose when a natural gas rig fell during its work in the region in 1971 during the era of the former Soviet Union, and to prevent methane gas from leaking from the crater and harming the environment and living organisms, scientists decided to set it on fire in the hope that the fire would consume the gas within a few days, but the fire did not stop. for more than four decades.
Devil's Sink: The Devil's Sinkhole is a huge vertical cave with a height of 400 feet from a 50-foot opening, located in Texas in the United States.
This cave is a deep hole formed from a collapse in the surface layer of the earth, usually resulting from underground erosion, and this place is excavated due to water erosion over thousands of years, and the exact date of the appearance of the Devil's sink is still unknown to scientists until now, but Artifacts were found inside the cave dating from 4000 to 2500 BC.
The hole is also home to more than three million bats all summer long that shriek eerily from the depths at sunset.
