Chesapeake Bay. Chesapeake Bay, largest inlet in the Atlantic Coastal Plain of the eastern United States. Created by the submergence of the lower courses of the Susquehanna River and its tributaries, it is 193 miles (311 km) long and 3 to 25 miles (5 to 40 km) wide.
Location of Chesapeake Bay. Did the Chesapeake Bay bolide affect the location of Chesapeake Bay itself? The answer is a complicated one. We know that the bay is nowhere near 35 million years old, which is when the bolide struck. In fact, as late as 18,000 years ago, the bay region was dry land; the last great ice sheet was at its maximum over North America, and sea level was ~200 m lower than at present.
