Aktobe Region

Aktobe Region (Aqtöbe oblysy; translit) is a region of Kazakhstan.

See Zhamanshin crater and Aktobe Region

Australasian strewnfield

The Australasian strewnfield is the youngest and largest of the tektite strewnfields, with recent estimates suggesting it might cover 10%–30% of the Earth's surface.

See Zhamanshin crater and Australasian strewnfield

Chondrite

A chondrite is a stony (non-metallic) meteorite that has not been modified, by either melting or differentiation of the parent body.

See Zhamanshin crater and Chondrite

Diameter

In geometry, a diameter of a circle is any straight line segment that passes through the centre of the circle and whose endpoints lie on the circle.

See Zhamanshin crater and Diameter

Extinction event

An extinction event (also known as a mass extinction or biotic crisis) is a widespread and rapid decrease in the biodiversity on Earth.

See Zhamanshin crater and Extinction event

Impact crater

An impact crater is a depression in the surface of a solid astronomical body formed by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller object. Zhamanshin crater and impact crater are Earth Impact Database.

Kazakhstan

Kazakhstan, officially the Republic of Kazakhstan, is a landlocked country mostly in Central Asia, with a part in Eastern Europe.

Lake Elgygytgyn

Lake Elgygytgyn, also transcripted El'gygytgyn, (Russian and Chukchi: Эльгыгытгын) is a crater lake in Anadyrsky District, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug in northeast Siberia, about southeast of Chaunskaya Bay. Zhamanshin crater and lake Elgygytgyn are Earth Impact Database.

Meteorite

A meteorite is a rock that originated in outer space and has fallen to the surface of a planet or moon.

See Zhamanshin crater and Meteorite

Nuclear winter

Nuclear winter is a severe and prolonged global climatic cooling effect that is hypothesized to occur after widespread firestorms following a large-scale nuclear war.

See Zhamanshin crater and Nuclear winter

Pleistocene

The Pleistocene (often referred to colloquially as the Ice Age) is the geological epoch that lasted from to 11,700 years ago, spanning the Earth's most recent period of repeated glaciations.
