{"product_id":"9781860943560","title":"Bombarded Britain: A Search for British Impact Structures","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book describes a search for geological evidence of meteorite impact structures in Britain. 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":"Default Title","offer_id":47039529255152,"sku":"9781860943560","price":114.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781860943560_p0.jpg?v=1763600262","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781860943560","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
