Meteorite Crater Discovered Drilling for Outback Gold Estimated to Be 100MY

9/25/2020

Geologists say they have discovered a large meteorite crater in outback Western Australia, which could be up to five times bigger than the famous Wolfe Creek Crater in the state's remote north. A team of geologists led by geological consultant Dr Jayson Meyers is behind the discovery in WA's Goldfields Initial estimates suggest the asteroid that created the crater collided with the Earth 100 million years ago. It is not visible from the surface but electromagnetic surveys, which map the rocks below, suggest the crater has a diameter of around 5 kilometres. - ABC (Australia)

This article is about a discovery of a large meteorite crater found in Western Australia that is 5 times the size of Wolfe Creek. The meteorite hit the earth about 100 million years ago. This article connects to the current modules contents because the meteorite hit the ground causing the sediment rocks/soil to move creating a crater.

There has been a new discovered crater that is not visible from the surface, but with the help of electromagentic surveys we can estimate the size the meter is around. I thought that this article somewhat connects to our lesson this week because with the impact of a meteor can cause lots of movement on earths surface.

This article is mainly about an asteroid that hit the Earth approximately 100 years ago causing a crater to form. This amazing landmark could potentially be 5 times bigger than Famous Wolfe Creek Crater. I thought that this connects to the module's contents since it spoke about a Crater which was a form of volcano that we learned about.
