Is it true that the gulf of Mexico is the reminisce of a huge impact crater caused by an asteroid???

Question

Thanks for your answer...Tom Science 4

Answer 1

Not the Gulf of Mexico -- a crater near the edge of it.

"When a giant space rock slammed into Earth 65 million years ago near the present-day village of Chicxulub on the Yucatan Peninsula, not only did it wipe out a lot of dinosaurs, it left behind a huge crater and, inside that pock, an even bigger mystery."

Check the link for info, animation, etc. Neat!!

Answer 2

No, it was too small of an event that was localized, not having a global affect. Instead, the causative agent was the Noachian Deluge caused by the "Aegides Megabollide Impact Event" into a former central African plateau that carved out the MASSIVE 1,800-mile diameter ovid-superstructure of the "Congo Gigacrater", the largest visible impact crater in the entire Solar System, surpassing the Helles Crater on Mars by and additional 500 miles. Note that the Congo River Basin and the river are curvilinear, surrounding the central crater rise called the Solonga Mass; the drainage circumnavigates around this mass, typical of a classic impact crater. Also, this is why the Negroids of Africa are the only culture on Earth who do not have a Flood Myth, because this location was "ground-zero" for this impact event that was followed by the onslaught of the Great Deluge. By comparison the Aegides Impactor was equal to the mass of 1,090 Mt. Eversts, while the impactor that created the Chixculub Crater on the Yucatan was equal to the mass of only ONE Mt. Everst; and Chixculub is 206% smaller in size to the Congo Gigacrater. This event ruptured the floor of the Atlantic and released the pressurized subterranean seas creating the Mid-Atlantic Ridge in a matter of minutes; and it fractured the Earth, i.e. the African Great Rift Valley and the Red Sea as well as adjacent fracture zones. An axial pole shift ensued, a 90 degree shift, moving the continent of Antarctica (Atlantis/Ancient Edena: the TRUE cradle of Humankind, and where Noah lived) which was formerly above the equator to where it exists today, the South Pole, flash-freezing the former global technoculture of the advanced Atlanteans beneath one mile of ice (an additional mile in thickness has accumulated since to a total of 2 miles of ice). Hence, Noah's Age was not primitive at all, but was an advance technological world of 36-feet tall giants being the normal stature of Humankind at that time, even Plato and the Ancients of Greece and Egypt knew this; and Saint Augustine of Hippo, Africa, reported in writing of the unearthed bones of the giants that were buried in the African shoreline of the Mediterranean.

Answer 3

No, not true. The Gulf of Mexico existed BEFORE the impact that killed the dinosaurs. That impact crated is not far off the coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. If the whole Gulf were a crater, the center would be somewhere closer to Cuba. And that is not the case.

Answer 4

The web site below is a reliable list of authenticated impact craters. It mentions a couple of places (Hudson Bay coast, and Mauretania) which look a bit like big crater outlines, but aren't. The Gulf of Mexico didn't rate a mention. The one on the edge of it in Yucatan (the Chicxulub crater) does, of course, but on a map it doesn't even look like a crater. It's been identified from the microscopic structure of deep-drilled rock specimens.
