Small Craters Airbursts, and Tsunami -- 15. Dozmary Pool and Other Craterlets -- 16. Levin-Bolt and Blast -- 17. British Atlantis? -- Epilogue: The Silverpit Crater -- Appendix 1 Historical Fireballs in Britain -- Appendix 2 Possible Impact-Induced Disasters -- Bibliography -- Index Annotation This book describes a search for geological evidence of meteorite impact structures in Britain. The statistics of impact structures indicate that Britain should have Phanerozoic impact structures up to tens of kilometres in diameter. A constant theme is the importance of atmospheric break-up of small asteroids and comets. These fragmenting bodies produce anomalously shallow craters with low rims and central peaks; three British structures of this type are identified. Analysis of fireball statistics implies that damaging fireball explosions occur over the British Isles on a time-scale of decades. On a time-scale of millennia, however, more damage is done by Atlantic impact tsunami. Readership: Upper level undergraduates and post-graduate students in geology and planetary science |
