Record measurements and any other observations you have about the appearance of the crater on the data chart. Complete three trials and compute the average values.

In an important sense, impact cratering is the most fundamental geologic process in the Solar System.

This crater-filling unit, variously called the breccia lens or crater-fill breccia, is a mixture of rock fragments, both shocked and unshocked, together with fragments or lenses of shock-melted …

Impact cratering is one of the dominant geological processes altering the surfaces of all of the solid-surface planets in our solar system. Impact craters are formed when objects such as …

This exercise will look at the general relationships between the kinetic energy of the impact and the crater size. First, let's define a few terms: kinetic energy is the energy of a moving object, …

But the most ubiquitous features on planetary surfaces are impact craters. The primary goal of this exercise is to test the hypothesis that impacts do produce craters with the right sort of …

Impact cratering is a process found everywhere in the solar system except on the giant gaseous outer planets. Earth has been heavily impacted but erosion has removed most of the craters.
