The scientists have solved 100 years old mystery about the origin of glass found in the desert of Egypt. According to scientists, this glass was created not by any atmospheric phenomenon, but by the influence of the meteor mass. The findings published in Journal Geology are to understand the risks generated by asteroids. In Australia, researchers from Curtin University investigated the small charms of the zircon (mineral) as glass samples found in the Libyan Desert. They were built almost 2.9 million years ago and are found in several thousand square kilometers of western Egypt.





Aaron Kawosi of the University of Curtin states said that the zircon present in the glass gives evidence of the presence of a high-pressure mineral whose name is rediet, which is formed only during the meteoroid effect.





Kawosi said, "It is a matter of debate that the glass was created by the influence of the meteor mass or from Airburst, which happens when the asteroid which is called the Near Earth Object, it explodes and its energy is traped in the earth atmosphere. '





They said, "The process of melting start due to the effects of the meteorite and the airburst, but due to the meteorite effect only vibrating waves produced which cause the formation of high-pressure mineral, so evidence of the

rediet

is sufficient to prove that it was created by the influence of this meteorite. '





Kawosi said that the idea that the glass could be built during a major atmospheric airbuster, became popular when Russia had a dramatic airbuster in 2013, due to which the property was destroyed on large scale and people were injured, but this is not formed due to the melting of surface ingredients.





Kawosi says that the former models point to the Libyan desert glass, which mentions about 100 megatons of Airburst, but our results show that this is not the case. The effects of meteorites are terrible incidents, but they are not common.
