Craters and Meteor Strikes

 The current theory proposes that craters result from the impact of objects from space. Thus, it is the case that crater’s pockmark, sometimes to the point of almost totally covering, the surface asteroids, meteors, or planets. 

 Unfortunately, because craters on Earth have experience erosion and volcanism, most details and definitions have been lost. The best observations of craters are by looking at other planets, meteors, and asteroids as erosion has been less. The depressions show a distinct order of large creators superimposed by medium-size creators superimposed by smaller creators. A few rare cases that are blurred and difficult to see indicate a different order. 

Another apparent anomaly in these depressions is they are all circular. Even the smallest pockmarked asteroids show circular indentations.

The Sequence Of Crater Creation 

The order of crater formation shown in The drawing on the top left shows this order of large to small creators. 

Photographs of craters on the planets, moons, and asteroids have been progressively smaller. Additionally, craters are always circular.  

The photographs show this pattern in red. 

Circular Depressions

Craters being circular would indicate that the trajectory’s impact would be 90° to the surface. Yet, most photos show the path of meteors at a low angle. That would create an elliptical impact depression.  

          Pictures of meteor strikes, notice the low angle.

Craters found on an asteroid and comets show similar indentations. Meteor strikes circular shape is sometimes explained as being made because meteors often explode as they come close to impact because of the friction between the meteor and the atmosphere. The explosion could explain some of the craters on Earth, but how would it explain the circular shape of craters with no or little atmosphere like the moon, meteors, and asteroids?

An Alternative Cause

However, craters caused by explosions from within the planets or moons would be circular. Many different substances, like water or methane, could cause these explosions. 

Comets and meteors often contain ice and may cause their crater’s eroded surfaces. Both materials’ behavior, turning suddenly into gas or exploding, could result in pressures and temperature. The Earth’s vast stores of methane are currently responsible for explosions and giant holes in the surface of the Earth. In the past, these releases of gas and fire would have been more dramatic.

The Expanding Earth Theory, http://www.teddeclercq.com/expanding-globe-theory/, gives an alternative explanation to the tremendous geological catastrophes. Periodically continents shift their positions dramatically and rapidly, creating massive volcanic activity creating mountains and vast expanses of pillow lava on the ocean floor. It is this repeated event that most likely caused the Great Dyings.  

 Earth’s past geological catastrophes changed life’s evolutionary history. Massive die-offs occurred with these cataclysmic events 65 million, 199 million, 251 million, 364 million, and 439 million years ago. Only to be followed by explosions in life’s diversity. Although science has attributed these Great Dyings to meteor strikes, the geological history of craters makes this scenario doubtful. https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-timeline-of-the-mass-extinction-events-on-earth.html

The Expanding Earth Theory, http://www.teddeclercq.com/expanding-globe-theory/, gives an alternative explanation to the tremendous geological catastrophes that the Earth has experienced in the past. The theory can be summarized as follows: periodic continents shift their positions dramatically and rapidly, creating massive volcanic activity, forming mountain chains and vast expanses of metamorphic rock on land, and forming pillow lava on the ocean floor. It is this repeated event that most likely caused the Great Dyings.
