- seanhunter 4y agoThe article says: > The Chicxulub crater is an impact crater buried underneath the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. So I guess plate techtonics have caused things to shift around such that the crater isn't a hole in the surface now, but is underneath other rock?
- ppsreejith 4y agoFun fact: If you google "Chicxulub crater" you see an animation of an asteroid crashing.
- lofaszvanitt 4y agoIt was an impact crater. Over millions of years it was filled with sediment, so it's not that deep anymore.
