English: A schematic diagram of the area surrounding the Vredefort Dome, where a massive meteor created an impact crater 300 km in diameter 2020 million years ago. The red dot represents the epicenter of the impact. The outer circle has a radius of 150 km, and indicates the approximate location of the crater rim. The inner circle has a 100 km radius around the center. Note that the outcrops of Witwatersrand rocks (yellow areas) are located at 25 km from the epicenter of the impact and at then again at about 80-120 km from the epicenter. The locations of important towns and cities in the region are indicate in the appropriate places. The red line in the Johnnesburg region depicts the location of the ridge that gave the Witwatersrand its name. |
