- •
A high heat flow is inferred at the Chicxulub impact structure (northern Yucatan) based on a spectral analysis of aeromagnetic data.
- •
It is possible related to crystalline basement uplift at the center of the crater.
- •
Another cause would be impact induced radioactive element concentration in the crust beneath the crater.
