What is a depression in the Moon's surface caused by the impact of an asteroid or meteoroid?
The usual term is crater. Most craters are nearly circular holes surrounded by rims of ejected material. The term "impact basin" is used for the multiple-ringed structures formed by large impacts.
The depression left behind by an object striking the moon is called a?
A crater is a depression that is caused when an object hits a heavenly body, such as the moon. Since the moon has almost no atmosphere - and therefore no wind - the craters that have formed aren't erased over time from erosion (which has occurred here on Earth). The largest crater on the moon, the Aitken basin, is 2,500 km across and 13 km deep.
What era was the chicxulub crater formed?

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.

Then a crater will be formed, depends a great deal on its size.
What is a bowl shaped depression formed by the impact of a metoroid?
A bowl-shaped depression formed by the impact of a meteoroid is called an impact crater. It is created when a meteoroid collides with the Earth's surface, causing an explosive release of energy that excavates the surrounding material and forms a circular or elliptical crater. Impact craters can vary in size, with some being small and others being several kilometers in diameter.
Where may a crater be formed on a volcano?
a crater can be formed anywhere in a volcano. its usually formed at the top though.
How was The Crater Glacier formed?
Crater Glacier formed in the crater left by the 1980 eruption of Mount St Helens. The glacier formed between the crater's south wall and the cooled lava dome in the middle. The high walls of the crater keep the southern part of the crater in almost perpetual shade. Without sunlight, this location remains cool and so the snow that falls there never completely melts. Over the course of a few years this snow has piled up to form a glacier.
