Crater

The video explains how craters on the Moon and Earth are formed. It highlights that many craters are created by meteorite impacts, which leave a distinctive rim and ejected material. Additionally, craters can also result from explosive volcanic eruptions or subsidence, such as those following underground nuclear tests.

What celestial bodies are mentioned in the context of craters?

• The Sun and Mercury

• Jupiter and Saturn

• The Moon and Earth

• Mars and Venus

What is a key feature left by meteorite impacts?

• A distinctive crater rim

• A smooth surface

• A mountain range

• A deep ocean

Which of the following is NOT a cause of crater formation?

• Meteorite impacts

• Volcanic eruptions

• Tidal waves

• Subsidence

What can sometimes cause subsidence leading to crater formation?

• Heavy rainfall

• Underground nuclear tests

• Earthquakes

• Landslides

Which process can create craters similar to those formed by meteorite impacts?

• Tornadoes

• Volcanic eruptions

• Floods

• Hurricanes
