Underground erosion causes a circular depression what is it called?
A circular depression caused by underground erosion is typically called a sinkhole. Sinkholes can form gradually over time as underground voids or caves collapse, often leading to sudden and unexpected ground subsidence.
What is a summit crater?
A summit crater is a depression at the top of a volcano, usually caused by an eruption that removes material from the peak. It can contain a lava dome, a lake, or remain empty. Summit craters can be active sites for volcanic activity.
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties and causes the ground to sink?
A circular depression that forms when a magma chamber empties is called a caldera. It is a large volcanic crater made from the collapse of a volcano's mouth.
A depression in the ground due to cave collapse or acidic water dissolution of limestone is called a?
A sinkhole is the term used to describe a depression in the ground caused by a cave collapse. It can also be the result of acidic water dissolving limestone.
Are mars' moons craters?
No. A crater is a circular depression in the ground made by an impact or explosion. The moons of Mars are captured asteroids.
What are meteoroids called when they reach the ground?
Meteorites
What Forms when a meteoroid enters earths atmosphere?
Meteoroids don't enter the earths atmosphere, Meteors do. Meteoroids are the rocks that you find on the ground after a meteor penetrated the atmosphere and made it to the ground.
The type of sinkhole that shows circular depression over longer periods of time is called a?
The type of sinkhole that shows a circular depression over longer periods of time is called a "cover-collapse sinkhole." This type of sinkhole forms gradually as the ground surface slowly subsides into the underlying void, resulting in a depression that may continue to grow over time.
Are craters volcanic bombs?
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.
Was the moon a crater?
No. A crater is a depression in the ground created by an impact or explosion. The moon is an object in orbit around Earth. It is believed to have formed when another planet collided with Earth early in its history, but this impact did not leave a crater.
When meteoroids enter the earth what do they do?
a meteor burns up on entry into the atmosphere, and a meteorite strikes the ground
How are meteoroids meteors and meteorites different from one another?
Location. In order, they are in space, in air, or on the ground.
