Glossary term: 충돌 구덩이

Also known as 충격 구덩이

Description: 충돌 구덩이는 태양계의 행성이나 위성 또는 암석 소행성 표면에서 관측되는 함몰 지형입니다. 충돌 구덩이는 큰 천체의 표면에 작은 천체(운석)가 고속으로 충돌하여 형성됩니다. 달에는 대기가 없기 때문에 충돌 구덩이들이 많습니다. 지구에서는 두꺼운 대기 때문에 많은 유성들이 대부분 지표면까지 도달하지 못합니다. 지구상 충돌구덩이의 예로는 미국의 애리조나주에 있는 미티어 크레이터가 있습니다.

Caption: True-colour image of the asteroid Ceres acquired by the spaceprobe Dawn in May 2015, at a distance of 13641 km. The prominent, bright crater at right is Haulani. The smaller bright spot to its left is exposed on the floor of Oxo. Ejecta from these impacts appears to have exposed bright material, probably water ice.
