Manicouagan Reservoir (also Lake Manicouagan / m æ n ɪ k w ɑː ɡ ən,-ɡ ɒ̃ /; French: [manikwaɡɑ̃]) is an annular lake in central Quebec, Canada, covering an area of 1,942 km 2 (750 sq mi). The lake island in its centre is known as René-Levasseur Island , and its highest point is Mount Babel .
One of the largest impact crater lakes is Lake Manicouagan in Canada; the crater is a multiple-ring structure about 100 km (60 mi) across, with its 70 km (40 mi) diameter inner ring its most prominent feature; it contains a 70 km (40 mi) diameter annular lake, surrounding an inner island plateau, René-Levasseur Island.
After firing up Google’s map software to plan a camping trip in Quebec’s Côte-Nord region, he told CBC, he found the curve of what turned out to be a roughly nine-mile-diameter pit near a ...
Mistastin crater was created 36 million years ago by a violent asteroid impact. [9] The presence of cubic zirconia around the crater rim suggests that the impact generated temperatures in excess of 2,370 °C (4,300 °F) — roughly 43% that of the surface of the Sun and the highest crustal temperatures known on Earth [9] — and produced global changes that lasted for decades after the impact.
There are situations where the censorship of certain sites was subsequently removed. For example, when Google Maps and Google Earth were launched, images of the White House and United States Capitol were blurred out; however, these sites are now uncensored. [3]
The origin of the Nastapoka arc has been a source of disagreement and discussion among geologists, other Earth scientists, and planetary geologists.Noting the paucity of impact structures on Earth in relation to the Moon and Mars and remarkable curvature of the shoreline of this part of Hudson Bay, Beals [1] proposes that the Nastapoka arc is possibly part of a Precambrian extraterrestrial ...
The table below is arranged by the continent's percentage of the Earth's land area, and where Asian and Russian structures are grouped together per EID convention. The global distribution of known impact structures apparently shows a surprising asymmetry, [ 37 ] with the small but well-funded European continent having a large percentage of ...
Google Earth is a web and computer program that renders a 3D representation of Earth based primarily on satellite imagery.The program maps the Earth by superimposing satellite images, aerial photography, and GIS data onto a 3D globe, allowing users to see cities and landscapes from various angles.
