Meteorites fall and create a giant double hole in Sweden

Swedish scientists first discovered a unique double hole created from two meteorites that fell to Earth at the same time 460 million years ago.

The attack of two meteorites created a double pit in Jämtland , Sweden, with a large pit diameter of 7.5 km and a small hole of 700m.

"About 470 million years ago, two belt asteroids between Mars and Jupiter collided with each other, firing debris. Many debris crashed into Earth, like two meteorites in Jämtland", IB Times yesterday quoted Erik Sturkell, geological physicist at the University of Gothenburg.

At the time of two meteorites falling, Jämtland sank under the sea at a depth of 500m."The information from the drill shows the same sequence on the two craters, and the sediment above the affected area is the same year. In other words, two meteorites fall together at the same time ," Sturkell said. explain.

The team said that the impact of meteorites was far from water, and in 100 seconds, the craters were completely dry."After that, the water spilled again, dragging meteorite debris and matter that were shot in the explosion, causing a strong wave to stir the seabed," Sturkell said.
