Is the south pole-aitken basin the largest and deepest depression found thus far in the solar system?
South Pole Aitken Basin (diameter 2500km) is not the largest known impact crater. That distinction lies with Utopia Planitia Basin (3500km) on Mars. However, SPA is the deepest known impact basin in the Solar System at 13 kilometers. If proven, the hypothesized Borealis basin, on Mars, would be the largest impact basis, at more than 10000 km in diameter.
How big was the asteroid that made the North Pole Basin on Mars?
2 miles
What is the largest crater in the universe?
Mars, the crater is called the Borealis basin and at 8,500 kilometers across covers 40% of the Martian surface. There is some skepticism about it actually being an impact crater though, in which case the Aiken Basin on the Moon is the next biggest one at a meager 2,500 kilometers.
What was the solar system like when the moon form?
Busy, lots of things were crashing into each other. A planetesimal about the size of mars is believed to have formed at a Lagrange point along Earth's orbit and was pulled out of it possibly by Jupiter inevitably crashing into Earth putting debris into orbit around the Earth that might had formed the moon. After that, something is known to have crashed into the moon creating the Aiken basin which is over 1,300 kilometers across. The Borealis basin on Mars was the location of a hit too at 8,500 kilometers across. And we can't forget Mercury's Caloris basin also at about 1,300 kilometers.
What is the deepest depression found on the surface of mars?
The largest known crater on the planet is the Vredefort Crater in the Free State Province, South Africa. It is a couple hundred kilometres across and is one of the only large meteorite impact craters that one can see exceptional detail into the geological composition of craters. The crater has a diameter of roughly 250 - 300 km.But it is important to note that there is a chance that there is a larger one in Antarctica as scientific research there suggest a 'possible' one, but studies have not confirmed this yet.
What kind of igneous rock is mostly present in mars surface?
borealis basin
Does mars have meteor craters?
yes it does actually the biggest crater in mars was discovered in the 1970s it was named the borealis basin it was discovered that it was the biggest crater in the solar system so far i hope this helps
Does Mars have unusual features?
Well, Mars has the largest mountain in our solar system, Olympus Mons. Mars also has the largest canyon in our solar system, called Valles Marineris. Mars also has a Borealis Basin which covers 40% of it's surface area.
