Asteroid Collision with Earth

(1/7) > >>

brokeplex:
new evidence shows that smaller asteroids can have a devastating impact if they collide with the Earth. This is important because smaller asteroids are three times more likely to impact Earth than the larger variety of Dinosaur killers. The famous Tunguska impact in Siberia a century ago is now thought to be from a much smaller asteroid than was originally thought.

Interesting brokeplex thread!

One was just found I think out in the Western provinces of Canada? Maybe close to where BM movie was filmed? It was on TV two weeks or so ago... I think.

I live on top of a rim of such of one which created a valley... bellow.

Great!! Uncredictable are some... at least eventfull?

Hugs!!

Speaking of Canada, many geologists believe that James Bay and maybe even Hudson's Bay are the deep impressions left by earlier collisions with large asteroids or comets. Such a collision would wipe out most of the life on Earth.

Brokeplex, I believe you are right.

I did live nearby there... years ago!! And collected Innuit sculptures. Did you see the movie last night done in an island there: The White Dawn 1974; I did not think I would have liked it and I loved it, as most were Innuits living there as cast members, but they had to be taught the young ones by the elders since that culture is changing too fast to us... and the book had been written by one who had lived there and the interview was his son... wow- great information about that them, that culture and life!!

Such manly film in the  wilderness which is melting too fast as white polar bears to-day have to swim too far for food and therefore die with no more strength to swim to its catch!! Global pollution warming too fast there... flooding them and us soon... is said!! As warning... for us all on Earth!!

The ladies in that film are very tender and like my girfriend who is First Nation Objibway -so king, friendly and nearly always smiling... soft hearted and helpful, but the Americans, Canadians, European and others, brought in booze and fighting which makes too much of a difference - sad !!

Even now to-day the Federal Government
of Canada is committing genecide towards a First Nation there nearby by paying lip-service to them... with no clean water they were becoming sick... and with no bucks for prison guards, their prisoners burned to death 2 years ago - shame - the Federal had and still refuse the Elders there who want a better place and be helped as promise but the Federal gives them lipservice as shown on TV - plus personal proof I have from a local person I knew who had to go work there recently!!

My tires on the car were like that comic show: squares in Winter!!

Hugs!!
