Geological and Geochemical Analysis

The comet impact is considered as an explosion on the Earth's surface with a high specific energy. The numerical solutions have shown that the radiation flux on the Earth's surface can exceed a threshold value for the fire ignition all over the surface of a direct vision of the comet plasma plume.
