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.

Laboratory Craters: Modeling Experiments for Meteorite Impact Craters?
IEEE Transactions on Plasma Science, 2008In this paper, we reveal the feasibility of obtaining laboratory craters to investigate planetary events such as meteorite craters. Experiments were performed by using 0.44-mum laser beam with energy of les15 J in 350 ps (full-width at half-maximum) on aluminum targets.

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.

We suggest that a buried 180-km-diameter circular structure on the Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico, is an impact crater. Its size and shape are revealed by magnetic and gravity-field anomalies, as well as by oil wells drilled inside and near the structure. The

Impact cratering on porous asteroids
Icarus, 2003Abstract The increasing evidence that many or even most asteroids are rubble piles underscores the need to understand how porous structures respond to impact. Experiments are reported in which craters are formed in porous, crushable, silicate materials by impacts at 2 km/s. Target porosity ranged from 34 to 96%.

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 ...

The Ries impact, a double-layer rampart crater on Earth
, 2013The ejecta blankets of impact craters formed on a planetary body that is free of significant quantities of volatiles show substantial differences from those formed on a volatile-rich planetary body.

In this chapter, various experiments of impact cratering performed at a laboratory scale will be reviewed. As discussed in Chap. 5, natural planetary craters have a wide variety of shapes. Very high-speed and large-scale impact events must be reproduced to fully mimic the actual planetary craters, which is evidently impossible to accomplish.

The robotic search for life on Mars centers on identifying accessible environments where the biological catalyst, water, has existed. The formation of large impact craters on Mars (>65 km diameter) may have resulted in the creation of ice‐covered impact crater lakes, which would not freeze for thousands of years, even under present climatic ...
