Description

CRATERS

Crater (Crater) - The Craters are usually shaped bowl-shaped, mostly of meteoritic origin (some are of volcanic origin), with the appearance of a depression, whose dimensions range from millimeter to the size craterletas (small lunar crater up to 8km diameter, 8 km), to huge craters, arriving at about 240 km in diameter. The craters are usually distinct from simple craters and complex craters. beyond

other characteristics, complex craters are distinguished primarily by the formation of one or more elevations centered on the floor of the crater. Nearly all the large craters were visible in the moon formed by asteroidal impact, but some smaller craters are endogenicas of volcanic origin, such as small crater Hyginus.

Craters of the simple type bowls are shaped depressions on the surface of the Moon This classification includes craters with dimensions ranging from submillimetre diameters up to about 15 km in diameter, with 15-20 km the transition zone between the craters and simple complex.

The complex craters start with about 20 km in diameter. Morphologically they are characterized by a bowl-shaped depression with a central elevation or more peaks (small mountain or structures) and terraces of the side walls.

Teophilus is a fine example of the type crater complex, as it is one of dozens of craters that have elevated central.
