Meteorite impact craters as hotspots for mineral resources and energy fuels: A global review

چکیده
The ever-increasing recovery rate of natural resources from terrestrial impact craters over the last few decades across globe offers new avenues for further exploration mineral and hydrocarbon in such settings. As today, 60 208 have been identified to host diverse as hydrocarbons, metals construction materials. potential plausible resource contributors energy sector is therefore, worthy consideration, 42 (70%) oil, gas, coal, uranium, mercury, critical major minerals well hydropower resources. Among others, 19 are well-developed reserves. Mineral deposits associated with also classified similar other progenetic, syngenetic epigenetic sources. Of these, progenetic mineralization confined early late excavation stage crater evolution, respectively, whereas formed during after modification formation. Thus, (like Fe, Ni, Pb, Zn Cu) a direct result event, (e.g. hydrocarbon) hosted by structure post-impact processes. In deposits, shock-wave induced fracturing melting aid formation highly fractured lithostratigraphic units higher porosity permeability, like central elevated area (CEA) or rim, act traps. this review, we provide holistic view craters, use some remote sensing techniques identify supplemented schematic model types cratering process.

African meteorite impact craters: characteristics and geological importance
Abslzact Geologists have realized that impact cratering is the single most important surface-forming and modifying process for the other terrestrial planets and the satellites of all planets. The recognition of impact cratering as an important geological process on earth has been rather slow. However, geologists are now realizing that giant impacts have had a determining influence on the geolog...
متن کاملThe formation, morphology, and economic potential of meteorite impact craters
One quarter of the known terrestrial impact craters are associated with economic deposits of some kind whether they are mineral ores, hydrocarbons or even evaporite minerals and fresh water. Detection of new structures is hindered by the apparent randomness of impact, terrestrial erosional processes, non-systematic search efforts, and that 30% of craters are buried. The vast expanse of the Eart...

Desai, et al. [1] simulated microparticle lunar impact craters using laser impacts. They produced crater diameters of several hundred μm in Al. Ford [2] made observations about lunar craters simulated by spark-machining on metal. These were also very small scale craters. This work expands the size of simulated impact craters from their sub-millimeter craters to craters over a centimeter and exp...

One of the principal new results of space exploration has been the demonstration that impact cratering was endemic throughout the solar system. Whether one is contemplating the cratered face of Mercury, the traces of the bombardment surviving on Venus or the Earth, the heavily cratered highland surface of the Moon or the southern hemisphere of Mars, the battered potato-like surfaces of Phobos a...
