Best Answer

Craters with a large central peak and high rim walls are easily identified as impact craters. Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona is one example. It's central peak has eroded over the years, but it's rim rises 150 feet above the surrounding terrain.

Where Earth shows few craters on its surface. What is the explanation for this Did Earth somehow avoid being hit during the heavy bombardment period?

Earth's atmosphere stops smaller meteors from reaching the surface, but not large ones. The real reason Earth has few impact craters is because it has many active geologic processes. Erosion, sedimentation, volcanic eruptions, and plate tectonics are constantly renewing and changing Earth's surface. Very little of Earth's crust remains from the time of the Late Heavy Bombardment, and most that does remain has been heavily altered. By contrast the moon is, for the most part, geologically dead. Asteroid and comet impacts have been the only significant changes since the moon formed. Therefore craters on the moon have remained mostly unchanged for billions of years.
