The collision destroyed more than 3 billion years ago

Researchers at Stanford University (USA) say asteroids that attacked Earth 3.26 billion years ago are more powerful than "homosexuals" that destroyed dinosaurs about 65.5 million years ago.

The asteroid that hit the Earth's surface 3.26 billion years ago, traveling at a speed of 70,811 km / h and a diameter of at least 37 km, made the oceans swell and the earth shook for half an hour.

The impact crater is wider than the distance between New York and Washington DC in the US, with a diameter of at least 483km.

Meanwhile, asteroids wipe out dinosaurs from the Earth's surface, about 9.6 km in diameter, and create a crater 150km across.

Donald Lowe, a geologist at Stanford University, said the shocking incident occurred at a time when the experts named "The late heavy bombs" , causing the seismic waves of similarity. with strong earthquake 10.8 Richter scale.

According to reports on Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, the giant impact crater has disappeared due to erosion and movement of Earth's crust.
