Annual Review of Earth and Planetary Sciences, 1999
▪ Abstract The detailed morphology of impact craters is now believed to be mainly caused by the collapse of a geometrically simple, bowl-shaped “transient crater.” The transient crater forms immediately after the impact. In small craters, those less than approximately 15 km diameter on the Moon, the steepest part of the rim collapses into the crater ...

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.

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

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.

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 ...

Our exploration of Mars has revealed a world as fascinating as Earth, with a changing climate, giant volcanoes, former oceans, polar ice caps, and numerous impact craters. This book provides a comprehensive summary of the morphology and distribution of meteorite craters on Mars, and the wealth of information these can provide on the crustal structure ...
