	Impact crater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		An impact crater (impact basin, astrobleme or sometimes crater) is a circular or oval depression on a surface, usually referring to a planet, moon, asteroid, or other celestial body, caused by a collision of a smaller body (meteor) with the surface.
		Few underwater craters have been discovered because of the difficulty of surveying the sea floor; the rapid rate of change of the ocean bottom; and the subduction of the ocean floor into the Earth's interior by processes of plate tectonics.
		The distinctive mark of an impact crater is the presence of rock that has undergone shock-metamorphic effects, such as shatter cones, melted rocks, and crystal deformations.

		Pythagoras is a prominent lunar impact crater located near the northwestern lunar limb.
		In the center of craters on Earth a crater lake often accumulates, and a central island or peak (caused by rebounding crustal rock after the impact) is usually a prominent feature in the lake.
		Arizona In either case, the size of the crater depends on the size of the impactor and the material in the impact regions.

		The first is that the crater lies on a great circle path from Australia oriented at about a 45-degree angle to the general trend of the eastern Australia coast.

		All tektite-bearing samples are located SE of the crater, in the opposite direction from SE Australia, where the impact fireball was seen by the aborigines[2].

		The close" connexion of Hephaestus with Lemnos and especially with its mountain Mosychlus has been explained by the supposed existence of a volcano; but no crater or other sign of volcanic agency is now apparent, and the " Lemnian fire "—a phenomenon attributed to Hephaestus—may have been due to natural gas (see Lemnos).
		The relation between Hephaestus and Prometheus is in some respects close, though the distinction between these gods is clearly marked.
		Hephaestus is a culture-god mainly in his secondary aspect as the craftsman, whereas Prometheus originates all civilization with the gift of fire.

		Daniel Barringer was one of the first to identify a geological structure as an impact crater, but at the time his ideas were not widely accepted, and when they were, there was no recognition of the fact that Earth impacts are common in geological terms.
		They can destroy chondritic or carbonaceous chondritic bodies before they ever reach ground, but iron-metallic asteroids have more structural integrity and can strike the surface of the Earth in a violent explosion.

		Geophysical evidence suggests that there is a structure, named the Mahuika crater with a 20 km diameter that lies on the southern edge of the New Zealand continental shelf.
		The tektite field does not extend radially outward from the crater; instead, it appears to extend roughly thirty degrees to either side of a line drawn southwest from the center.
		This size range fits with the scaling predicted for a crater the size of the Mahuika structure.

		A field of tektites--globules of rock that melted and cooled in midair--spreads to the southeast of the crater just as it should from a impacter striking at a low angle from the northwest, the direction Bryant infers from the Australian tales.
		The crater, which Abbott calls Mahuika after a Maori fire deity, lies in a spot that would send waves against Australia at just the angle Bryant had already calculated.
		Goff agrees, but with neither a firm date for the crater nor sure evidence that cataclysmic waves hit New Zealand at the same time as it was formed, "the jury is still out," he says.

	A BLAST FROM HEAVEN? (MAJOR IMPACT DISASTER 500 YEARS AGO?)
		If further research confirms that the circular depression is a recent crater, it would lend dramatic ammunition to Bryant's controversial scenario: Five hundred years ago or so, as Europe was beginning its colonial explorations, a comet or perhaps an asteroid plunged to Earth seaward of Australia's New South Wales coast.
		In addition, the crater is on the edge of the continental shelf, and it may have caused a large underwater landslide which would also increase the strength of the tsunami.
		With respect to the tree ring data, it may be that a deep ocean impact does not inject enough dust into the upper atmosphere to cause the climate changes that would show up in the tree ring data.

		Gavin Menzies, author of the book 1421: the Year China Discovered the New World, suggests that the bolide was a fragment of Comet Napier and Clube and that it struck during October 1422, the exact time necessary to wipe out the portion of his hypothetical Chinese exploratory fleet commanded by Zhou Man.
