As lower levels of the lava start to cool, they are also pulled . These crater chains are formed when a comet, normally torn apart by tides, has many of its fragments collide into the planet or moon at nearly the same time. 23. 4) What process do you think formed Apollinaris Patera, marked A? During the excavation phase, the massive shock wave causes the projectile to simultaneously melt and vaporize, spewing plumes of searing hot rock vapor miles high into the atmosphere. endobj
Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars would have formed last, when the Sun was far calmer. Justify your answer. Fig. An extensive blanket of ejecta covers the area around the rim. ), 1987, Glossary of Geology. From the geological map (Tanaka et al., 2014) it is evident that Reuyl crater formed over a Noachian-Hesperian dichotomy boundary surface. Measure and record the diameter of Olympus Mons. On propagating roughly hemispherically into the underground target rocks, shock wave energy diminishes and so does pressure and temperature. Craters are the most common surface features on many solid planets and moonsMercury and our Moon are covered with craters. A geologic process. Determine and record the diameter of Apollinaris Patera? The dark basins can be seen by the naked eye. A good example is the mineral plagioclase. 19.) It measures 85.9 kilometers in diameter and was named after Dirk Reuyl, a Dutch-American physicist and astronomer (19061972) who made astronomical measurements of the diameter of Mars in the 1940s.[1]. Tycho meteorite crater on the Moon. Venus has fewer craters; its surface has been covered recently (in the last 500 million years!) 8 0 obj
In impact research, the subdivision of the crater-forming process into three main stages has generally been accepted. Image credit: NASA. 16. What are the different kinds of craters? However, impacts still occur across our solar system, but at a reduced rate. The shock wave fractures the rock and excavates a large cavity (much larger than the impactor). <>/XObject<>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB/ImageC/ImageI] >>/MediaBox[ 0 0 612 792] /Contents 17 0 R/Group<>/Tabs/S/StructParents 1>>

This image shows a simple crater on Mars that has no central peak or terraces around its edges. One of the most well-known craters on Earth is Meteor Crater, which is near Winslow, Arizona. a hole in the ground made by the explosion of a bomb or shell. In concurrence with this result, the crater age . There is no other reasonable explanation for the occurrence of such a peculiar structure at the bottom of the glacial Lake Chiemsee. Name _____ COSMORPHOLOGY - May 2009 Geologic landforms Purpose: By studying aerial photographs you will learn to identify different kinds of geologic features based on their different morphologies and learn the processes involved in their formation. Irregular craters -- Craters with irregular shapes or multiple impact craters formed at the same time. 15 0 obj
Tychos diameter is 85 km. Over the course of a few hundred million years, the planet began to cool and oceans of liquid water formed. Even the crater-covered moon might be a chip off old Earths block, an enormous shard shot into orbit following a giant impact event. More elongate craters can be produced if an impactor strikes the surface at a very low angle less than 20 degrees. Give evidence for your answer. Ma'adim Vallis (labeled C) is the channel in the southeastern part of the image. 13) hits the earth? The impact velocity was 1250 m/s, and the target (flour) sound /seismic velocity is estimated to have been about 100 m/s. The high-speed impact of a large meteorite compresses, or forces downward, a . Mafic rocks may contain light colored minerals as well. As a result, there are only around 160 known impact craters in existence today (though there are surely more that havent been discovered). 19). Sand and dust particles carried by the wind form dunes and windstreaks. Lake Toba in Sumatra, the largest volcanic structure on Earth, is an example of an enormous caldera that has filled with water over time. This, however, requires chemical equipment and apparatus that is unavailable in this lab. Therefore, older surfaces have more impact craters. b.The process that I think formed apollinaris patera is Volcanism, this is because of its characteristics, such as the radial flow patterns, and basal scarp, a craters, large flow trending to the south, and the less complex caldera.. c.The process that I think formed Reuyl crater, is an Impact, the reason for this is by the ejecta pattern and central peak.

Fortunately determination of the exact chemical composition is not necessary. 14. At the edges of lunar maria, there are often damaged walls of craters formed before the maria. Multi-ring basin Mona Lisa on Venus. Different crystalline structures, or how the atoms and molecules are arranged, result in different minerals. The curious central mound within the craters can be explained by Hertzian and spallation fracturing on collision with the hard hailstones. Check Pages 101-150 of Planetary_Geology in the flip PDF version. Based on your observations, what is the probable order of occurrence of A, B, C, and D in Figure 5 (i.e., which came first, second, third, last)? Unlike the rock-into-mud cratering, the excavation in impact cratering is inextricably linked with the propagation of shock waves. Phaneritic texture is composed of crystals that are large enough to see but smaller than pegmatitic texture, and the entire rock is composed of crystals. (Viking mosaic P-17698)
9. 7) will result. 3), and the central mound in the craters shown in Fig. The prevailing theory supported by the scientific community, the giant impact hypothesis suggests that the moon formed when an object smashed into early Earth. How can craters be used to determine the age of a planet or moon? Here is a look at the violent, battered past of the . Learn how these processes work and how they formed more than 300.000 craters on the Moon. Which of the four geologic processes do you think formed this channel? But no matter at what angle it makes contact, the enormous amount of kinetic energy the projectile carries immediately transfers to the target rock it hits, triggering powerful shock waves. Part of the ejecta of the larger crater was molten, melted rock and formed flows. We see that shock wave and rarefaction wave propagation are essential in the formation of a meteorite impact crater. Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Accessibility (IDEA). Sinuous Ridge Materials in Reuyl Crater. On relieving of pressure, there is an elastic rebound at the crater floor now hosting a layer of brecciated rocks. The Moon does not. Justify your answer.

At some time in their life nearly every girl, boy (and adult) has thrown pebbles or cobbles into mud and watched nice round form. Although temperatures below freezing and low atmospheric pressures do not allow liquid water on the surface of Mars today, erosion processes involving running water were important on Mars in the past. endobj
A bowl-shaped simple crater (Wolfe Creek, Australia, 900 m diameter). Further identification of non-foliated rocks is dependent on the composition of the minerals or components in the rock.

Craters produced by the collision of a meteorite with the Earth (or another planet or moon) are called impact craters. 6. Limestone containing fossils is referred to as fossiliferous limestone. There are some interesting erosional signs in this observation, which will make for a good comparison with other intracrater fans and fluvial sedimentary landforms. The Chicxulub crater in the Yucatan peninsula, Mexico, is not visible at the surface of the seafloor. If the projectile . As a result, there are only around 160 known impact craters in existence today (though there are surely more that haven't been discovered). <>
Firsoff is an impact crater in the region called Meridiani Planum in the Oxia Palus quadrangle of Mars, located at 2.66N latitude and 9.42W longitude.It is 90 km in diameter. xZms|fl d;NrHIM. This will result in the formation of central uplifts and ring systems, and we may now refer to these as central-uplift or central-peak craters, peak-ring craters or multi-ring craters establishing the group of so-called complex impact craters or complex impact structures (Fig. In an introductory level lab it is impossible for us to determine these two aspects of a mineral. What process do you think formed Reuyl crater (marked B on Figure 11.5)? A crater is a bowl-shaped depression, or hollowed-out area, produced by the impact of a meteorite, volcanic activity, or an explosion. Material Type: Lab; Class: Sci Thought/Processes I; Subject: Honors Program; University: George Mason University; Term: Unknown 1989; Thus, if a valley cuts through a crater, the crater must be older. Here again, the difference is obvious: In the case of cobble-into-mud or raindrop impacts the craters are not much larger than the projectile (Fig. How looks an impact crater that was produced by an oblique impact? The force of the impacts create circular structures with raised rimmed wall; spatters of mud and smaller circular secondary craters may be seen (Fig. The crater has been extensively eroded, but is believed to originally have been as much as 300 kilometers (185 miles) across.

Copernicus is a large crater (93 kilometers or 60 miles wide) on the Moon. 13. The somewhat blurred contours are not surprising giventhe impact happened into water and a soft, water-saturated target rock. The Crater Maker should stand over their sand-filled container and hold their arm out at the height they are going to drop it. Planet Earth holds some of the strangest, natural tourist . stream
The ejecta blanket has lobes, which may indicate wet material was ejected, suggesting that subsurface water or melted ice was mixed into the debris. Much of Earth's surface is recycled through plate tectonic activity (and erosion), so Earth also has few craters. When first we see images of the famous one-kilometer (0.75-mile) bowl-shaped Barringer meteorite crater in Arizona (Fig. Fig. As on the Moon, Mercury, Venus, and most of the outer planet satellites, impact craters are found on the surface of Mars. And the trump card, plate tectonics, that recycles much of the planets crust over millions of years and smooths away blemishes left by cosmic impacts. Olympus Mons is only one of four huge volcanoes in a 3000 km-wide region called Tharsis. Texture is divided into two groups. Chapter. Craters come in two flavors: those that arent caused by asteroids or comets, impact craters, are formed by powerful volcanic explosions. What influences the size and shape of a crater?

The monument contains 55 cones with lava flows and 14 fissures, many of which have spatter cones. That means it is more likely it will cool into hexagonal chunks. What process do you think formed Reuyl crater (marked B on Figure 11.5)? Albite has a chemical composition of NaAlSi3O8, while anorthite's chemical compositon is CaAl2Si2O8. Sedimentary rocks are rocks composed of sediment. Scratch the unknown mineral with a known hardness to determine which mineral is harder. Craters can be used to determine the relative ages of Martian surface materials; in general, older surfaces have craters which are more numerous, larger, and more degraded than those on young surfaces. (Hint: the region slopes to the north.) The polar caps shrink during local summer and grow during local winter. endobj
Like the other planets, Earth formed . Fig. The same geologic processes that shape Earth, i.e., erosion, impact cratering, tectonism, and volcanism, have left their mark on Mars. <>

It is true meteorites crashing as stones from the sky at free-fall velocity may in fact produce small craters in the ground similar to mud and hailstone craters. endobj
Gypsum is relatively soft (Hardness =2) and can be scratched easily with a fingernail. Mass movement is the displacement of material by landslides or slumping through the action of gravity. It measures 85.9 kilometers in diameter and was named after Dirk Reuyl , a Dutch-American physicist and astronomer (1906-1972) who made astronomical measurements of the diameter of Mars in the 1940s. Sometimes lots of particles strike at one time, creating meteor showers. "It is difficult to say exactly . Justify your answer. Whereas volcanic craters arise from deep inside the planet, impact craters originate in outer space. Impact cratering is the excavation of a planet's surface when it is struck by a meteoroid. The insets in the black boxes show close-ups of some of the structures that lava can form: (left) branched channels, (middle) a snaking channel and (right) rootless vents; the rootless vents are also marked by yellow spots on the main image. Impacts are instantaneous events. On a world with an atmosphere, the object is heated by friction with the blanket of air. Describe the appearance and orientation of the windstreaks. Meteor Crater is 1.2km wide and 175m deep. If an impactor is large enough, some of the material pushed toward the edges of the crater will slump back toward the center and the rock beneath the crater will rebound, or push back up, creating a central peak in the crater. Image courtesy of D. Roddy through the Lunar and Planetary Institute. Although impacts of extraterrestrial objects onto the Earth's surface occur at hypervelocity (high speed) and involve much more kinetic energy than any impacts in a classroom lab might do, such a lab can be worthwhile. 5) Ma'adim Vallis is the channel in the southeast part of the photograph, marked D. What processes do you think formed Ma'adim Vallis? Both will react to HCl. * Your assessment is very important for improving the workof artificial intelligence, which forms the content of this project Explain your answer. In this way, all rock particles behind the expanding shock front are captured by both the compressive shock and the tensile rarefaction, and both combine into a vector of acceleration. | Scientists record the size and number of impact craters and how eroded they are to determine the ages and histories of different planetary surfaces. This was obviously not the case, and so most of the Moon craters could not be meteoritic. In the case of small transient craters, modifications are moderate. Fig. Near the footprint in the above picture, you can see many small "pock-marks." These marks are the craters made by microscopic particles that hit the surface moving at speeds of several kilometers per second. M8 aR The completely unnerving possibility that such force can be delivered in such a short time may well contribute to both the lack of understanding and often disbelief many geologists hold toward cratering events. Consider the relationship between Ma'adim Vallis and Gusev, the 160 km . Chemical sedimentary rocks are identified by identifying the mineral from which they are composed. Apart from the distinct role rarefactions waves play in the formation of the excavation flow field, they are especially relevant geologically. (Hint: remember that wind direction refers to the direction from which the wind blows.) The three stages of impact crater formation. <>

In the following, these three stages are illustrated and described in a somewhat simplified manner. Phyllitic foliation is composed of platy minerals that are slightly larger than those found in slaty cleavage, but generally are still too small to see with the unaided eye. 2) we may think it somehow formed from an identical mechanism. Measure and record the width of the Ius Chasma. Dual crater at the bottom of Lake Chiemsee, Bavaria (Germany) that very probably formed in the large Holocene Chiemgau impact event.

The Rocks of Earth and the Surface of Mars
Purpose: To understand the rocks of terrestrial planets and how they are formed, and to interpret and analyze the surface of planets and what that teaches us about the conditions that exist today and may have existed eons ago. A very rough rule of thumb amounts to the order of a one-to-ten diameter ratio. Degraded craters -- Craters that have become eroded due to weathering, lava flows, impacting, or downslope movement of material. Keep track of the craters you measured. Peak ring crater Rachmaninoff on Mercury. | Terraces are a common feature of many large craters---for another example, look at the crater Theophilus. Three types of sedimentary rock "texture" are clastic, chemical, and biologic. It is the oldest and largest impact crater recognized on Earth's surface. Note: This is a large Adobe Acrobat PDF file: "craters_activity.pdf" (8.5 Mb), so you may want to download to your computer. Schistose foliation is composed of larger minerals that are visible to the unaided eye. So far we have considered the impact of a solid object like a stony or iron meteorite. Fig. Felsic compositions are rich in silica (SiO2). Image source: NASA. The force can catapult chunks of molten and solid rock hundreds of miles from the impact site this material is known as ejecta flow. must an impactor be to produce a given size impact structure? The GIF below shows the formation sequence of the model (a YouTube . The darker material is quartz sand, combined with a small amount of cornmeal to produce a minor amount of cohesion between sand grains. Four minerals that need to be identified are quartz, halite, gypsum and calcite. Non-foliated textures are identified by their lack of planar character. <>

However, this is not a sensible practice in a large lab with many different people handling the samples. [Hint: use the principle of cross-cutting relations to justify your answer.] Its features, such as the ejecta blanket beyond its rim, are well preserved because of the crater's youth; it has not experienced extensive erosion. Foliated textures show a distinct planar character. Beware that even though an igneous rock may have a felsic composition (light color), the rock can contain dark colored minerals. 17. }v)He|/7rw9>{W9qM~Zs.|9q7_9'o2p3kie V;\UXF}w1l`p!U,9#H{wx 0 ~
