The statistics of impact structures indicate that Britain should have Phanerozoic impact structures up to tens of kilometres in diameter. A constant theme is the importance of atmospheric break-up of small asteroids and comets. These fragmenting bodies produce anomalously shallow craters with low rims and central peaks; three British structures of this type are identified.Analysis of fireball statistics implies that damaging fireball explosions occur over the British Isles on a time-scale of decades. On a time-scale of millennia, however, more damage is done by Atlantic impact tsunami.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Imperial College Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47892171653271,"sku":"9781860943560","price":13585.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781860943560.webp?v=1781185967","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/bombarded-britain-a-search-for-british-impact-structures-9781860943560","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
