Description. Shoemaker also studied terrestrial craters, such as Barringer Meteor Crater in Arizona, and along with It is about 30 km (19 mi) south-east of Kumasi, the capital of Ashanti, and is a popular recreational area.There are about 30 villages near the crater lake of Lake Bosumtwi, with a combined population of about 70,000. These features were caused by the collision of large meteorites or comets with the Earth. Haughton impact crater is located on Devon Island, Nunavut in far Northern Canada. This list includes all 60 confirmed impact craters in North America in the Earth Impact Database (EID). It is located in the Tajik National Park in the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan The discovery of the crater and independent discovery of its ejecta were first reported in the journal Science in 1986. The Late Heavy Bombardment (LHB), or lunar cataclysm, is a hypothesized event thought to have occurred approximately 4.1 to 3.8 billion years (Ga) ago, at a time corresponding to the Neohadean and Eoarchean eras on Earth. The Burckle crater is an undersea feature about 29 kilometres (18 mi) in diameter, in the southwestern Indian Ocean.. 1082: Karakul, Qarokul (Kyrgyz for "black lake", replacing the older Tajik name Siob; Russian: ; Tajik: ) is a 25 km (16 mi) diameter lake within a rather large 52 km (32 mi) impact crater. Lonar Lake, also known as Lonar crater, is a notified National Geo-heritage Monument, saline, soda lake, located at Lonar in Buldhana district, Maharashtra, India.Lonar Lake is an astrobleme created by a meteorite impact during the Pleistocene Epoch. The basin is located on the Canadian Shield in the city of The crater, which has since been eroded away, was around 160300 km (100200 mi) across when it was formed. A large bolide impact created the 100-kilometre (62 mi) diameter crater approximately 35 million years ago during the late Eocene epoch (Priabonian stage). The deep crater, 24 mi (38 km) across, is Because the United States Board on In many cases, on Earth, the impact crater has been destroyed by erosion, leaving only the A meteorite is a solid piece of debris from an object, such as a comet, asteroid, or meteoroid, that originates in outer space and survives its passage through the atmosphere to reach the surface of a planet or moon.When the original object enters the atmosphere, various factors such as friction, pressure, and chemical interactions with the atmospheric gases cause it to heat up and radiate The Sudbury Basin (/ s d b r i /), also known as Sudbury Structure or the Sudbury Nickel Irruptive, is a major geological structure in Ontario, Canada.It is the third-largest known impact crater or astrobleme on Earth, as well as one of the oldest.

Beaverhead County is the largest county by area in the U.S. state of Montana.As of the 2020 census, the population was 9,371. The Tongass National Forest (/ t s /) in Southeast Alaska is the largest U.S. National Forest 2). Its county seat is Dillon. An impact crater is a depression in the surface of a planet, moon, or other solid body in the Solar System or elsewhere, formed by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller body. Complex craters are a type of large impact crater morphology.. The presence of shatter cones and deformed bedrock led geologists to conclude by the late 1960s that the In contrast, an impact crater is the surface expression of an impact structure. When large objects impact terrestrial planets such as the Earth, there can be significant physical and Above a certain threshold size, which varies with planetary gravity, the collapse and modification of the transient cavity is much more extensive, and the resulting structure is called a complex crater.The collapse of the transient cavity is driven by gravity, and involves both the uplift of the central region and the The county was founded in 1865. In contrast to volcanic craters, which result from explosion or internal collapse, impact craters typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain. Haughton impact crater is located on Devon Island, Nunavut in far Northern Canada. [citation needed]Henbury is one of five meteorite impact sites in Australia with remaining meteorite fragments and one of the world's best preserved examples of a small crater field. The Tongass, which is managed by the United States Forest Service, encompasses islands of the Alexander Archipelago, fjords and glaciers, Official name: Karakul Lake: Designated: 18 July 2001: Reference no. It is about 23 km (14 mi) in diameter and was formed 31-32 million years ago during the Early Oligocene . In contrast to volcanic craters, which result from explosion or internal collapse, impact craters typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain. The county was founded in 1865. It might be linked to the EoceneOligocene extinction event. A potentially hazardous object (PHO) is a near-Earth object either an asteroid or a comet with an orbit that can make close approaches to the Earth and is large enough to cause significant regional damage in the event of impact. In finer-grained rocks such as limestone, they form an easily recognizable "horsetail" pattern with thin grooves ().

The Popigai crater (or astrobleme) in Siberia, Russia, is tied with the Manicouagan Crater as the fourth largest verified impact crater on Earth. 1082: Karakul, Qarokul (Kyrgyz for "black lake", replacing the older Tajik name Siob; Russian: ; Tajik: ) is a 25 km (16 mi) diameter lake within a rather large 52 km (32 mi) impact crater. The crater, which has since been eroded away, was around 160300 km (100200 mi) across when it was formed. The lake is of particular interest to scientists because it has never been covered by glaciers. The Weaubleau structure is a probable meteorite impact site in western Missouri near the towns of Gerster, Iconium, Osceola, and Vista.It is believed to have been caused by a 1,200 feet (370 m) meteoroid between 335 and 340 million years ago during the middle Mississippian Period (Latest Osagean to Earliest Meramecian).It is listed by the Impact Field Studies Group as a "probable" The lake island in its centre is known as Ren-Levasseur Island, and its highest point is Mount Babel.The structure was created 214 (1) million years ago, in the Late Triassic, by the impact of a meteorite 5 km (3 mi) in diameter.

An impact structure is a generally circular or craterlike geologic structure of deformed bedrock or sediment produced by impact on a planetary surface, whatever the stage of erosion of the structure. In contrast, an impact crater is the surface expression of an impact structure.
