A term that is sometimes used for oceanic crust rocks is sima, which is short for magnesium silicate, a common component of these rocks. Another term for these undersea igneous rocks is mafic, which comes from the fact that they are high in magnesium and iron. Basalt and gabbro are examples of mafic rocks.
The current record is held by Briton Corporal of Horse (CoH) Craig Harrison, of the UKâs Household Cavalry, who recorded a 2,475 m (2,707 yd) shot (confirmed by GPS) in November 2009, also during the War in Afghanistan, in which he hit two Taliban insurgents consecutively.
We believe the in-game NBA record for longest shot was set by the Hornetsâ Baron Davis in 2001 against the Bucks, where he managed to nail an 89-footer at the end of the third quarter. And who can forget Dwight Howardâs official record for the longest shot made while sitting down.
