This episode discusses the interaction of wind, water and impacts in the creation of the Carolina Bays. Many geologists consider that the Carolina Bays evolved over thousands of years, but if the bays originated from secondary impacts of glacier ice ejected by an extraterrestrial impact on the Laurentide Ice sheet, then the features of the landscape could have been created in just a few minutes.
