Little bit dataisincomplete.

With the ice ages and the rising and falling of continents, this is kind of incomplete due to the lack of deep sea bathymetry. Not to mention the straight up ice impact or ocean impacts we could have had. If the world was always roughy 70% water, then this represents far less than half of all the impacts, and many of them would have been insane tsunamis.

A bunch of much older ones could have formed the current Black Sea or Gulf of ~~Mexico~~ America.

What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
