What do you notice about the shape of your pebbles 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.
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.
Why is it hard to see meteorite impacts on earth?
Four main causes: 1) Erosion due to weather, etc. 2) Concealment by sedimentary deposits. 3) Most of the Earth's surface is water. 4) Plate tectonics changes the Earth's surface. _________________________________ One other significant factor is that some of the impact craters are so enormous that we fail to recognize the typical "crater" shape until we can see it from space, or at least from high altitude. There's a new generation of meteor crater hunters who never leave their desks, who search Google Earth for the telltale signs of "ring" mountains . Of course, some meteor craters are as obvious as can be; the classic Barringer Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona, for example.
Shape of a meteor?
It has no particular shape. It is a rock
Sedimentary rock that is composed of angular pebbles?
Breccia is made up of pebbles, boulders, cobbles or gravel that are angular in shape. Conglomerate is similar to Breccia but have a rounded shape instead of angular shape.
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.
What is a bowl shape depression at the mouth of a volcano?
Crater
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 are craters and why would they stay on an object?
Craters are depressions in a planet's or moon's surface caused when a meteor hits the surface. On the moon craters remain undisturbed because there are no environmental forces like wind and rain to disturb resulting shape of the 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.
What are two variables that could cause meteorites to form different sized craters?
There are a number of factors that determine the size and shape of a crater. The two most significant are the mass of the impactor, and the speed. Other influential factors would include the composition of the object (solid rock or more aggregate, like pebbles? Ice?) the shape of the object, and the composition of the impact site. If it is on dry land, it will be more likely to leave a visible crater, while a water or marshy impact site would be quickly erased. If a water impact, the depth of the water and the topography of the surrounding seas would be vastly important. A strike in a deep ocean basin might be relatively mild, while a water strike in the South China Sea or Gulf of Mexico, with the constricted water flow, might result in catastrophic tsunamis inundating the surrounding areas.
What shape of pebbles would be the most useful in determining the direction of movement of the glacial advance?
round
