What ever happened the the talk about a Shiva Crater [caused by impact off Bombay] as being the cause of the Deccan phenomenon. Also, I tried to respond to another post regarding the antipodal possibility of the Yucatan meteor causing the Deccan events. It did not come up on my computer, but said there should have been two antipodal events. My question: wouldn’t the location of the antipodal reaction depend on the angle of entry of the original boloid?
See the link to the H. Jay Melosh response regarding whether impacts cause volcano outbreaks. :’)
Oops...didn’t see your comment before posting.
Shiva is still quite popular. I was just in a discussion of it over lunch yesterday, along with the other topics I mentioned above.
