| Planetary Geology #6 Impact Cratering on a Rainy Day | ||
| We've seen plenty of pictures of a pockmarked moon. Now it's the students' turn to create their own multi-cratered surface. Students will learn how planetary surfaces are modified by multiple impacts and how surfaces can be dated by analysis of craters. In addition, they will learn to understand the effects of illumination angle on the detection of craters. | ||
