the higher something is the more potential energy it has. when you drop it that turns into kinetic energy & u gain more momentum. that creates a bigger impact on what the crater hits.
A crater is formed when a meteoroid, asteroid, or comet collides with the Earth's surface at a high velocity. The impact creates a depression in the ground, often surrounded by an elevated rim, due to the explosive force generated upon impact.
Shadow?
From the impact of fast moving objects with a surface. The kinetic energy of the impactor excavates a crater with an inverted, raised rim and forms an ejector plume leaving a crater and, if the impactor is sufficiently large or fast, a central mountain peak.
Well, look at this lovely moon crater here. Beautiful. You can identify features like the raised rim, central peak, and the ejecta blanket around the crater from this image. Now, let's take a moment to appreciate the wonders of the universe. Remember, mistakes are just happy little accidents, my friend.
When a rock mass smashes into a planet or moon, it can create a crater. The impact releases large amounts of energy that can cause significant damage and reshape the surface of the celestial body. The size and appearance of the crater depend on various factors such as the size and speed of the impacting rock.
The height from which an object is dropped influences the crater's diameter primarily due to the object’s impact velocity, which increases with greater height due to gravitational acceleration. A higher drop height results in a greater kinetic energy upon impact, leading to a more forceful collision with the surface. This increased energy can displace more material, resulting in a larger crater. Additionally, factors like the object's mass and shape, as well as the surface material's properties, also play significant roles in determining the crater size.
When a meteor hits Earth, it forms a crater, or hole in the ground , made by a space object.
When a meteor hits the Earth it forms a crater.
A divergent
A crater that is formed when there is an impact (usually by an asteroid) that forms cracks. The cracks are then filled by lava.
Probably from the earthquake that happened when the crater hit the earth. The lava rushes to the surface, melting the crater, and it forms a volcano.
lava dome
crater lake!!
When magma slowly rises up the inside the crater of a larger volcano, it forms a Lava Dome.
It forms a crater or dint.

Potential energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its position or height above the ground. This energy can be converted into other forms, such as kinetic energy, when the object moves or falls.
