Assessing event magnitude and target water depth for marine-target impacts: Ocean resurge deposits in the Chicxulub M0077A drill core compared

چکیده

The rim wall of water formed from even a modestly-sized marine impact may be kilometers in height. Although modeling has shown that this wave swiftly breaks and relatively rapidly loses energy during outwards travel the site, portion collapses inwards generate resurge flow with tremendous transport energy. Here we compare deposits generated by ocean inside one largest marine-target craters on Earth, 200-km wide Chicxulub crater, Yucatán Peninsula, México, (breccias) eight drill cores five other Sweden United States. Examination range cored locations within craters, target depths (H) relative to modeled projectile diameters (d) reveal high correlation between location, average clast frequency (?N?), d/H which any four variables can obtained. relationship here provide an important tool for diagnosing cratering processes where there is limited understanding crater size and/or paleobathymetry.

What Magnitude Are Observed Non-Target Impacts from Weed Biocontrol?

A systematic review focused by plant on non-target impacts from agents deliberately introduced for the biological control of weeds found significant non-target impacts to be rare. The magnitude of direct impact of 43 biocontrol agents on 140 non-target plants was retrospectively categorized using a risk management framework for ecological impacts of invasive species (minimal, minor, moderate, m...

Clastic Polymict Dikes in the “megablock” Sequence of the Icdp-chicxulub Drill Core Yax-1

Introduction: The Yaxcopoil borehole (Yax-1) penetrates below the suevitic units through 600 m of sediments (894.9 m – 1510.9 m). These rocks are most likely of Cretaceous age and are regarded as a displaced “megablock”. The stratified sequence was intruded by suevitic dikes (910 m, 916 m), one impact melt dike (1347 m) and several clastic, polymict dikes. The latter are the focus of this study...

the search for the self in becketts theatre: waiting for godot and endgame

this thesis is based upon the works of samuel beckett. one of the greatest writers of contemporary literature. here, i have tried to focus on one of the main themes in becketts works: the search for the real "me" or the real self, which is not only a problem to be solved for beckett man but also for each of us. i have tried to show becketts techniques in approaching this unattainable goal, base...

Shock Metamorphism of Impactite Lithologies of the Icdp Chicxulub Drill

(1) Upper sorted suevite (794.63 – 807.75 m) and (2) Lower sorted suevite (807.75 – 823.25 m): The dominating component in both units of the sorted suevite are melt particles of shock stage IV. Two different textural types of melt particles were observed: (1) brownish to pale green silicate melt particles with flow texture, vesicles and schlieren; and (2) dark aphanitic particles with inclusion...
