IMPACT STRUCTURES IN SEAS AND OCEANS
Recently 188 impact structures were discovered on the Earth surface, and their number continuously increased. 6 craters were formed in marine conditions, and now they are completely or partially occur under the sea surface. The underwater origin and the later removal to the land surface by tectonic processes was determined for 21 craters from the whole number of the continental impact structures. While oceans cover about 71 % of the Earth, the underwater origin was determined for 14 % of impact craters only. Such low number of underwater craters is due to the young age of the ocean floor and absorption of impact energy of the asteroids by the water column, as well as the difficulty of discovery of underwater craters.
Key words: impact structure, asteroid, tsunami, suspension flow, breccia.
