The oldest place of collision with a celestial cliff was discovered – | Iranian and world news

An analysis of the rocky layers of the area shows that a 4 -kilometer -long crater was created after a large rock cliff collided about 1.5 billion years ago when the earth was covered with water, according to . The discovery has broken the record of the oldest heavenly rock collision with the Earth. The former record is a structure called Yarrabubba in Western Australia, which is one billion years older than the newly discovered area.

Chris Kirkland of the University of Cortin in Australia and the leader of the discovery says: “Given the geological recycling processes of the planet, such evidence is very rare.” This is a great achievement in the realization of land in the early years.

Researchers estimate that the rock cliff that such a crater has created on Earth was moving at a speed of 4,000 kilometers and the remnants of the collision are scattered throughout the planet. Although the event had a global impact, its force was not deadly. The remaining crater plays an important role in creating early life and therefore has a view to the root of life.
