The Tunguska event was an enormous explosion that occurred at about 7:14 AM on June 30, 1908, at an altitude of 5–10 km (15,000–30,000 feet), flattening some 2,000 square km (500,000 acres) and charring more than 100 square km of pine forest near the P
In June 1908 a massive air burst of a meteor or comet (10-15 megatons TNT – 1000 times as powerful as the bomb dropped on Hiroshima) knocked over an estimated 80 million trees over 800 square miles in Siberia [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunguska_event] A Russian scientist Vladimir S...
The Tunguska event is the largest impact event on earth in recorded history. Studies have yielded different estimates of the meteoroid's size, on the order of 60 to 190 metres (200 to 620 feet), depending on whether the body was a comet or a denser asteroid. Since the 1908 event, there...
The similarity of the shape of these three lakes and their location in river channels indicate their common origin and testify against the hypothesis about the impact origin of Cheko Lake as a result of the Tunguska Event of 1908.doi:10.1134/S1028334X23600044Rogozin, D. Y....
“There are two functions in OxCal that are used for combining dates from a single inferred event. The ‘R_Combine’ function is used to combine two or more radiocarbon dates from the same source, e.g., a single skeleton203,204. The ‘Combine’ function is used to combine two or more...
Even though the explosion of the Tunguska event occurred over a remote location in Siberia, Russia, it probably caused fatalities in the local nomad population [10]. Estimates suggest that a Tunguska-like impact, were it to occur over present day London without mitigation measures, would likely ...
The exact date of the event is very uncertain because nobody from the outside reached the region until 1927, and there is an 11 day difference between the Julian calendar then used by the Russians, and theGregorian calendarwhich supplanted the Julian calendar. ...
