What else can I help you with?
How a volcanoes opening affects eruptions?
Well, it could make the crater bigger. Or make it bigger. Or cause a caldera (a crater with collapsed walls)
What can you conclude about the general relationship between crater size and the sizemass and velocity of the object that produced the crater?
The more massive the object is, or the faster the object is moving, the bigger the crater will be.
What is the world's biggest crater lake in new zealand?
The biggest crater lake in New Zealand would be Lake Taupo. I believe there are bigger crater lakes elsewhere in the world. Lake Manicouagan in Canada, is about 100km wide, but is not volcanic.
Why are some craters on the moon bigger than others?
It all depends on the amount of kinetic energy the crater has when it hits the moon. The larger the height, and the more kinetic energy the crater has when it hits the moon the larger the diameter of the crater and the more deeper it is. Hope this helps!
How was wine glass bay formed?
my theory is that a small asteroid (that's possible- they hit earth all the time) hit Tasmania near the coast, and the crater almost touched the shore. With some help from the waves and rain, the crater filled with water, then erosion did the rest.
What is another word for an impact basin?
A crater, but usually basins are much bigger than your average crater. So they are known by another name since often their characteristics are slightly different; the proportions of the impacting object are larger.
Is the Copernicus Crater a Volcanic crater?
No. Copernicus crater is an impact crater.
What is the Moon's largest crater?
The cheese crater. The cheese crater is the cheeseiest crater in all of cheese land.
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.
What largest crater has a lake above it?
crater lake crater lake
Which is bigger Hellas crater or borealis basin?
Borealis Basin is significantly larger than Hellas Crater. Borealis Basin, located in the northern hemisphere of Mars, spans approximately 8,500 kilometers (5,300 miles) in diameter, making it one of the largest impact features in the solar system. In contrast, Hellas Crater, situated in the southern hemisphere, has a diameter of about 2,300 kilometers (1,400 miles). Therefore, Borealis Basin is much larger than Hellas Crater.
How does the drop height of an object affect the size of the crater it forms?
The drop height of an object affects the size of the crater it forms by influencing the amount of kinetic energy the object has upon impact. A higher drop height results in more kinetic energy, leading to a larger and deeper crater. The relationship between drop height and crater size is not linear due to factors such as material properties and angle of impact.
