Catastrophic events leave lasting marks from "summary" of Principles of Geology, Volume 1 by Charles Lyell,Sir Charles Lyell
The earth's surface bears the indelible imprints of past catastrophic events. These events, whether sudden or gradual, have left lasting marks that can be observed and studied by geologists. The layers of rocks reveal a chronicle of the earth's tumultuous history, where sudden upheavals and violent disruptions have shaped the landscape we see today. One such catastrophic event is the impact of meteorites, which have struck the earth with tremendous force, leaving behind craters that are still visible to this day. These craters serve as a stark reminder of the destructive power of these cosmic projectiles and the lasting impact they have on the earth's surface....
