A dear reader recently commented to me on the bleak nature of Israel’s Negev region after viewing this post. Certainly Israel’s Negev is a harsh landscape and doesn’t harbor the g…
Meteors, comets and asteroids have slammed into the earth with a force many times greater than the most powerful nuclear bombs. Sometimes, mass extinction followed.
The Ramon Crater in Israel’s Negev Desert is the world’s largest erosion crater or makhtesh. A landform unique to Israel’s Negev and Egypt’s Sinai deserts’, a makhtesh is a large erosion cirque, created 220 million years ago when oceans covered the area (the word crater is therefore a misleading translation of Hebrew to English.) The Ramon Crater measures 40km in length and between 2 and 10km in width, shaped like a long heart, and forms Israel’s largest national park, the Ramon Nature Reserve. .: 100% cotton (fiber content may vary for different colors) .: Medium fabric (5.3 oz/yd² (180 g/m²)) .: Classic fit .: Tear-away label .: Runs true to size

Meteorite impact Ries Crater, suevite, impactite, breccia great collections RS 0018 size 50x36x9mm. W 17,85g. meteorite impact crater Rise Suevite Age: 15.1 ± 0.1 Ma Country: Germany D = 24 km, Age = 15.1 ± 0.1 Certificate IMCA 4167 The Ries is the type locality for suevite, an allochthonous, polymict breccia, which is generally of fundamental importance for impact crater studies on Earth and Mars. Suevite forms a continuous (?) layer within the central crater (crater suevite) and discontinuous deposits (outer suevite) on the inner ring and on the continuous ejecta blanket (Bunte breccia). Some observations suggest that the discontinuous patches of the outer suevite represent a primary feature and are not the result of later erosion The term “suevite” has been applied to various impact melt-bearing breccias found in different stratigraphic settings within terrestrial impact craters. Suevite was coined initially for impact glass-bearing breccias from the Ries impact structure, Germany, which is the type locality. Various working hypotheses have been proposed to account for the formation of the Ries suevite deposits over the past several decades, with the most recent being molten-fuel-coolant interaction (MFCI) between an impact melt pool and water. This mechanism is also the working hypothesis for the origin of the bulk of the Onaping

This image of the floor of an old impact crater in Arabia Terra shows evidence of multiple different geological processes, both ancient and modern. The linear ridges and scarps formed eons ago, perhaps as fractures filled with lava or some other dark material that is more resistant to erosion than the surrounding materials in the crater floor. Boulders up to 3 meters in diameter are strewn downslope on both sides of the dark ridge near the center of the picture. The nearby knob is the source of several long dark slope streaks. These dark streaks are probably caused by dust avalanches that remove bright dust and reveal the darker subsurface below. These streaks likely formed within the last few years, based on HiRISE observations of slope streaks elsewhere on Mars. NASA/JPL/University of Arizona www.uahirise.org/ESP_061582_2010
