India
India was formed by
many meteor impacts. The red placemarks on the image above denote
the center of impact for some of them. Maybe you can spot where
other impacts happened. The placemarks with
a title in the image
above, such as India 4, can be examinrd by clicking on the .kmz
file, listed below. These files will open in Google Earth similar
to the image below.
If
you do not have Google Earth, get
it here.
This image of the
India 4 impact shows the main seismic circles that resulted from
the impact. The blue placemarks denote the primary geographic
formations that fix the circle. By clicking on those placemarks,
you will be taken to a view of those formations, such as the image
below. From there you can take a closer look, if you wish, and
perhape you can find other formations around the circle that are
not marked.

Of you load all the
kmz files at once, you get this. Somewhat incomprehensible. But if
you then zoom into those points where the circles intersect, then
the image below is an example of what you see.
As you study this,
con start to see just how the land came together. The seismic
waves from different directions buckeling the land along the
circle lines. Then the water erosion forms the rivers and streams.
