The Impact Cratering Record on Triton
Science, 1990Impact craters on Triton are scarce owing to the relatively recent resurfacing by icy melts. The most heavily cratered surface has a crater density about the same as the lunar maria. The transition diameter from simple to complex craters occurs at a diameter of about 11 kilometers, and the depth-diameter relationship is ...

Impact cratering is an important and unique geologic process. The high speeds, forces and temperatures involved are quite unlike conventional endogenic processes, and the environmental consequences can be catastrophic. Kilometre-scale craters are excavated and collapse in minutes, in some cases distributing debris around the globe and exhuming deeply ...

Meteorite impact crater inventory of turkey
Proceedings of 2nd International Conference on Recent Advances in Space Technologies, 2005. RAST 2005., 2006Interplanetary space is populated with large numbers of small bodies known as meteorites, which are in orbits that can intersect those of planets and moons. Therefore, individual impacts appear on the surfaces of planetary bodies which are called impact craters.

Traces of impact craters in the geoid
Tectonophysics, 1992A well-known method for studying the impact craters on the Earth’s surface is gravity measurements. For practical studies, the gravity measured on the surface must first be reduced to a particular standard. In a simpIe procedure, after subtracting the latitude-dependent normal gravity, the topographic masses outside the geoid are either completely ...

Icarus, 2010
Five certain impact craters and 44 additional nearly certain and probable ones have been identified on the 22% of Titan’s surface imaged by Cassini’s high-resolution radar through December 2007. The certain craters have morphologies similar to impact craters on rocky planets, as well as two with radar bright, jagged rims. The less certain craters often

Advances in Space Research, 1991
Abstract A summary of experimental and theoretical studies of atmosphere-related phenomena accompanying high velocity impact processes is presented, including asteroid and comet passage through the atmosphere, their impact on the surfaces of different planetary bodies, blast waves in the atmosphere and their influence on surface life. These phenomena

The classic studies of the Barringer Crater, Arizona, Ries Crater, South Germany, and more recently Chicxulub impact structure, Yucatan, and other craters, coupled with laboratory high-velocity impact experiments, have established the dynamics of impact cratering, shock metamorphism and ballistic ejecta processes.

Impact cratering by high-velocity projectiles is an important process in the evolution of planets. Observations on planets and satellites with solid surfaces show that small impact craters are bowl-shaped and deep. Larger impact structures are shallow, they have overall flat interiors with several characteristic morphological elements, such as central ...
