Complex crater formation by oblique impacts on the earth and moon

HIGHLIGHTS

  • who: . and collaborators from the Department of Earth Science and Engineering, Impacts and Astromaterials Research Centre, Imperial College London, London, UK have published the Article: Complex Crater Formation by Oblique Impacts on the Earth and Moon, in the Journal: (JOURNAL)
  • what: The authors show that diameter is larger than predicted by existing scaling relationships for oblique impacts; there is little dependence on obliquity for impacts steeper than 45u00b0 from the horizontal. depth volume and diameter depend on impact angle in different ways-relatively shallower craters are formed by more oblique impacts. To account for impact . . .
