Lonar Lake in India has changed color from a deep bluish-green to bright pink. The change happened rapidly, and scientists haven’t nailed down the cause. It’s possibly related to an algae bloom or a shift in the chemical makeup of the water itself. Large bodies of water don’t ...
We present a comprehensive assessment of MPs contamination in the sediment and surface water of a geo-heritage site, Lonar lake (India). It is the third largest natural saltwater lake and only basaltic crater in the world formed by meteoric impact around 52,000 years ago. Mean MPs abundance ...
Lonar Lake, located in India’s west-central state of Maharashtra, went from a green tint to pink over a few days. The lake is located east of Mumbai and is believed to have formed 35,000 to 50,000 years ago, NASA said. Satellite photos from NASA show the lake on May 25 still spo...
1. Introduction Lonar Crater, located in the Buldana District of Maharastra State, India (19~ 76~ is a 3 0 0 0 0 - 5 0 0 0 0 year old meteorite impact crater excavated in Deccan Plateau basalts (Figure 1). During the past ten years it has been the object of extensive studies by...
The Toba blast is believed to have deforested much of central India - about 3000 miles from the eruption site. The blast is thought to have ejected about 800 cubic kilometers of ash into the atmosphere, producing a crater that is 100 kilometers long and 35 kilometers wide. The crater is...
