Big Hole is a large maar (explosion crater) in the Fort Rock basin of Lake County, central Oregon, northeast of Crater Lake, near Oregon Route 31. It is approximately 6000 ft (1820 m) across and 300 feet (91 m) deep.
Big Basin Prairie Preserve – St. Jacob's Well, Kansas, a water-filled sinkhole which lies in the Little Basin, and the Big Basin, a 1.5-kilometre-wide (1 mi) crater-like depression; Blue Hole (Castalia) – a fresh water pond located in Castalia, Erie County, Ohio; Blue Hole (New Mexico) – circular, bell-shaped pool east of Santa Rosa, New ...
The Big Hole has a surface of 17 hectares (42 acres) and is 463 metres (1,519 ft) wide. It was excavated to a depth of 240 metres (790 ft), but then partially infilled with debris reducing its depth to about 215 metres (705 ft). Since then it has accumulated about 40 metres (130 ft) of water, leaving 175 metres (574 ft) of the hole visible.
The Great Blue Hole is near the center of the photograph. The Great Blue Hole is a large marine sinkhole off the coast of Belize. It lies near the center of Lighthouse Reef, a small atoll 70 km (43 mi) from the mainland and Belize City. The hole is circular in shape, 318 m (1,043 ft) across and 124 m (407 ft) deep.
As material slid into the hole formed, it closed the vent and the process repeated, eventually forming the huge hole. [3] Blocks as large as 26 feet (8 m) in size were flung as far as 2.3 miles (3.7 km) from the crater. [4] To the west of Hole-in-the-Ground is an even bigger maar, 1.1 miles (1,820 m), but older and more eroded, called Big Hole.
Scientists have discovered the oldest black hole yet, a cosmic beast formed a mere 470 million years after the Big Bang. The findings, published Monday, confirm what until now were theories that ...
