Simple impact craters have bowl-shaped depressions, mostly with smooth walls. This type of crater generally has a diameter less than 9 miles (15 km). Their depth is about 20% of the diameter.

Do complex and simple craters have a central peal?

Yes, both complex and simple craters can have a central peak. Simple craters typically have a single central peak, while complex craters can have a central peak surrounded by multiple rings or terraces. The presence of a central peak is dependent on the size and impact energy of the meteorite that created the crater.


Differences between simple crater and complex crater?

Simple craters are relatively shallow with smooth bowl-shaped rims, small central peaks, and simple geometric structures. In contrast, complex craters are deeper with terraced rims, a central peak or peak ring, and more irregular shapes due to the complex process of their formation involving a rebound and collapse of material during impact. Complex craters tend to be larger in size and have more intricate features compared to simple craters.
