What size is the chicxulub crater?
The crater is more than 180 kilometers (110 mi) in diameter, making the feature one of the largest confirmed impact structures in the world; the impacting bolide that formed the crater was at least 10 km (6 mi) in diameter
What is a bowl shape depression at the mouth of a volcano?
Crater
What determines the size and shape of a crater?
Assuming the question refers to the crater of an astrobleme, as opposed to a volcanic crater or a man-made one, the mass, velocity and angle of the the impacting object.
Does the shape of a meteor effect the shape of the crater?
I am not exactly sure but I have a good scientific guess. No because the crater is always bigger than the meteor so it starts forming a circle when it comes out because the pressure is so hard that it will tear the shape a part as it forms.
What is the function of a volcano crater?
A volcanic crater does not have a function, per se. Rather, it is formed as a natural after-effect of volcanic eruptions. When volcanoes explosively erupt, molten rock is thrown clear of the main vent, where it can cool and harden; gradually, this builds the elevation of rock surrounding the vent, leaving a lower pool in the center of the volcano, and developing a crater (or bowl) shape.
What is A bowl shaped hole on the surface of a planet or moon that was caused by the impact of meteorite?
This is known as an impact crater. Please see the related link.
What do you notice about the shape of your pebble's crater and the shape of the impact crater shown in the photo?
Since we cannot see either your pebble or the photo, we cannot answer the question for you.

Are meteorites and craters alike in any way shape or form?
Not exactly. A crater is a hole in a surface (e.g. the moon). Craters are created by meteorites, when they hit the surface of a planet. It is like dropping a big river pebble into soft desert or beach sand. The result is usually a dip in the sand. A meteorite creates the same effect.
Why is the moons crater circular?
because the objects hitting it would hit then the impact would create a circular shape
What is the shape of Ruapehu in New Zealand?
Ruapehu is a rather broad volcanic cone with a truncated top, where the Crater Lake lies.
Why is the mountain in crater lake in Oregon called wizard island?
This is just a thought. Perhaps it is called Wizard island because its shape resembles the shape of a wizards hat. Just a thought.
What are antibiotics produced from branched bacteria?
streptomycin is produced from streptomyces species which it characterised by filamentous shape
