A 40-million-year-old asteroid impact off Yorkshire created a massive tsunami and the Silverpit crater, confirmed by new evidence.
A 40-million-year-old asteroid impact off Yorkshire created a 100-meter-tall tsunami and left the Silverpit crater, a buried structure 700 meters beneath the North Sea, according to new research.
Using seismic imaging and shocked minerals, scientists confirmed the crater’s origin as an asteroid strike, ending years of debate over whether it formed from salt movement or volcanic activity.
The 160-meter-wide space rock likely hit at a shallow angle, generating a massive wave.
Evidence from an offshore oil well provides conclusive proof, with researchers calling the findings definitive.
