An Entity of Type: lake, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The Sirente crater (Italian: Cratere del Sirente) is a small shallow seasonal lake in Abruzzo, central Italy. The depression, which is located at the center of the Prati del Sirente, a mountainous highland north of the Sirente massif in the Apennines, is 13 km (8.1 mi) from the village of Secinaro. Its formation has prompted a number of theories in recent years. Although in the absence of shock-metamorphic and / or geochemical evidence it is not yet possible to confirm the meteoritic impact theory, no other theories for the origin of this geological structure have been proven yet.

dbo:abstract
  • Le cratère du Sirente (italien : Cratere del Sirente) est un cratère d'impact hypothétique situé dans la région des Abruzzes, au centre de l'Italie. La dépression, située au centre du Prati del Sirente, une montagne située au nord du mont Sirente, est à 13 kilomètres du village de Secinaro. Selon la saison, le cratère du Sirente contient un lac. Le cratère soulève un certain intérêt depuis la fin des années 1990 lorsqu'une équipe de recherche, The Sirente Crater Group, assistée de deux scientifiques de l' (IRSPS), a effectué une étude détaillée de la zone. Elle a conclu que le site a subi un impact météoritique ayant dégagé une énergie équivalente à une kilotonne de TNT. (fr)
  • The Sirente crater (Italian: Cratere del Sirente) is a small shallow seasonal lake in Abruzzo, central Italy. The depression, which is located at the center of the Prati del Sirente, a mountainous highland north of the Sirente massif in the Apennines, is 13 km (8.1 mi) from the village of Secinaro.

Although in the absence of shock-metamorphic and / or geochemical evidence it is not yet possible to confirm the meteoritic impact theory, no other theories for the origin of this geological structure have been proven yet. Interest in the Sirente crater began in the late 1990s after Swedish geologist Jens Ormö, an impact crater specialist, noticed ridges near the site that indicated a bolide collision. A research team named "The Sirente Crater Group" along with two scientists from the International Research School of Planetary Science of Pescara (IRSPS) began a detailed examination of the area. The team concluded the meteorite struck the Earth with the force of a small nuclear bomb; approximately one kiloton in yield. The blast would have created a mushroom cloud and shockwaves similar to a nuclear explosion. (en)
