Question 1 of 5
1. Question
1 pointsConsider the following statements.
- An impact crater is a circular depression in the surface of a solid astronomical object formed due to volcanic explosion or internal collapse.
- The far side is also known as the dark side of the moon, which is not always hidden from earth.
- The lunar south pole also sits on the rim of a massive impact crater of the solar system.
How many of the above statements are correct?
Correct
Solution: a)
Only statement 3 is correct.
An impact crater is a circular depression in the surface of a solid astronomical object formed by the hypervelocity impact of a smaller object. In contrast to volcanic craters, which result from explosion or internal collapse, impact craters typically have raised rims and floors that are lower in elevation than the surrounding terrain.
The lunar south pole also sits on the rim of a massive impact crater of the solar system. Spanning a diameter of 2,500km (1,600 miles) and reaching depths of up to 8km, this crater is one of the most ancient features within the solar system.
The far side is also known as the dark side of the moon as it is always hidden from earth.
