How To Make a Crater - Home Science Tools Resource Center How To Make a Crater Some meteorites have enough energy and mass that when they hit the Earth, they make a large circular indention in the surface called an impact crater Impact craters can take on various shapes based on the meteorites’ size and the speed they hit the Earth
Experiment: Make your own craters! – Brian Williams Science How will studying an impact crater give you information about the collision, even if the meteorite is no longer there? Are there other clues of a meteorite impact that are important? In this experiment, we make our own craters in cocoa and flour to investigate how these features form on planets and moons
