1.07 Bosumtwi impact event 10.5 km (6.5 mi) in diameter, highly speculative theory connects this to Jaramillo geomagnetic reversal. Depth 380 m (1,250 ft), with the depth of lake sediments - 750 m (2,460 ft) Before the asteroid impact, the area was a lush rainforest filled with animals. Following the impact, the resulting crater filled with water forming Lake Bosumtwi |

1 Yosemeti one million years ago, snow and ice accumulated, forming glaciers at the higher alpine meadows that moved down the river valleys. Ice thickness in Yosemite Valley may have reached 4,000 feet (1,200 m) during the early glacial episode. The downslope movement of the ice masses cut and sculpted the U-shaped valley that attracts so many visitors to its scenic vistas today.[7] |
