No. A crater is a circular depression in the ground formed by an impact or explosion. A volcano bomb is a blob of lava hurled out during a volcanic eruption.
No. Almost all large solid objects in the solar system have craters.
Volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs are called tephra.
No, mercury's craters are not volcanic. They are formed due to impacts from meteoroids or asteroids hitting the surface of the planet. Volcanic activity on Mercury has been minimal compared to other planetary bodies.
Some were probably volcanic but the craters large enough to be seen with smaller telescopes were almost all made by impacts.
Craters on the moon are not volcanic, they are impact craters.
Two types of moon craters are impact craters, formed by asteroids or meteoroids hitting the moon's surface, and volcanic craters, formed by volcanic activity on the moon when magma rises to the surface and erupts.
There are several types of craters, primarily categorized into impact craters and volcanic craters. Impact craters form when a meteorite or asteroid collides with a planetary surface, creating a bowl-shaped depression. Volcanic craters, on the other hand, result from volcanic activity, where magma erupts and leaves a circular depression, such as those found at the summit of a volcano. Additionally, craters can vary in size, shape, and depth depending on their formation processes and the geological characteristics of the surface.
Meteor impact, volcanism, bombs.
Not at all. Volcanic craters are formed by volcanic action pushing up the earth's crust and melting out the middle area while spewing debris. Lunar craters are formed when meteorites hit the soft lunar regolith. The regolith is pushed aside explosively and leaves an indentation in the impact site.
A volcanic mountain made up of volcanic ash, cinders, and bombs is called a Cinder Cone Volcano.
