What is an impact basin?
It is a type of large crater (surface depression or pit) left on the surface of a moon or planet, caused by a large object striking its surface. It may include concentric rings or flows of melted rock.(see also the related link for a video on craters produced in a lab)
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.
Why might the discovery of ice in impact basins at the moon poles be important to future space flights?
when meteorites and other objects strike the moon, they leave behind depressions in the moons surface. The depression left behind by an object striking the moon is known as an imoact basin, or impact crater.

The term that you use to describe the dusty surface layer of an object like the Moon is?
The dusty layer of the moon, usually caused by meteors crashing on the surface, is called ragiliff.
The word for A hollow left on the surface of the moon caused by an object striking its surface?
Crater
What are crater edges called?
Crater edges are called rims. They are the raised edges that surround the depression created by an impact from a meteorite or other object striking the surface of a planet or moon.

When light hits an object and bounces off its called?
Reflection. This process involves light rays striking the surface of an object and bouncing back into the surrounding environment.

What is A force that opposes the motion of an object is called?
Friction is the force that opposes the motion of an object. It is caused by the interactions between the surface of the object and the surface it is moving on, leading to resistance to motion.
A hole in the groud caused by a meteor hitting a planet?
A solid object hitting the ground with the force of a meteor would leave a crater, a depression in the ground with a raised edge at the surface, similar to Meteor Crater in Arizona.
What is an object that contains phosphorus?
One example of an object that contains phosphorus is matches. The striking surface of a matchbox is coated with phosphorus, which is used to ignite the match when struck against it.
How is rolling friction caused?
Rolling friction is caused by the resistance generated when an object rolls over a surface. It occurs due to deformation of the object and the surface at their point of contact, resulting in a backward force that opposes the motion. This resistance slows down the rolling object.

What is the result of very high numbers of vapor particles striking an object at the same time?
Very high numbers of vapor particles striking an object at the same time can result in increased temperature and pressure on the object's surface. This can lead to heating, melting, or even vaporization of the object, depending on the intensity and duration of the vapor particle bombardment.
