An Asteroid Impact Event Forming the Intercontinental Geomorphology from East Asia to North Africa, and More

From the perspective of the thin shell droplet dynamics and based on the geographical and morphological data of the vast area from east to west Asia, this study suggests a tangential impact event of a quartzite asteroid with 430km diameter which may explain the formation of all basins, plateaus, mountains, Gobi and deserts northeast from the Outer Mongolia East Gobi Province and southwest to the Sahara Desert and connect the series of the huge geomorphic formation event with a homologous and sequential formation process. On this basis, a "continent formation theory" is proposed that continent and mountain are formed from the cooling of lava surge flow, and the new continental movement and structure was thus explained as well.

Abstract

From the perspective of the thin shell droplet dynamics and based on the geographical and morphological data of the vast area from east to west Asia, this study suggests a tangential impact event of a quartzite asteroid with 430km diameter which may explain the formation of all basins, plateaus, mountains, Gobi and deserts northeast from the Outer Mongolia East Gobi Province and southwest to the Sahara Desert and connect the series of the huge geomorphic formation event with a homologous and sequential formation process. On this basis, a "continent formation theory" is proposed that continent and mountain are formed from the cooling of lava surge flow, and the new continental movement and structure was thus explained as well.
