Deformation Fabrics and Their Cross-cutting Relationships in the Central Uplifts of Large Impact Structures
Introduction: Previous work on smaller complex craters less than 20 km in diameter [1-4] has uncovered a petrogenetic (deformation/modification) sequence expressed by cross-cutting relationships between deformation fabrics in target rocks. This sequence is most apparent in the uplifted rocks of crater floors (i.e. central peaks/uplifts). The deformation fabrics that have been studied include ma...
متن کاملThe geology of the Viking Lander 2 site revisited
Reevaluating the geologic history of the prior Mars landing sites provides important ground truth for recent and ongoing orbital missions. At the Viking 2 Lander (VL2) site, topographic measurements of relict landforms indicate that at least 100 m of sedimentary mantle material has been stripped away. The observed paucity of impact craters <100 m in diameter suggests that resurfacing processes ...
متن کاملStructural effects of meteorite impact on basalt: Evidence from Lonar crater, India
[1] Lonar crater is a simple, bowl-shaped, near-circular impact crater in the 65 Myr old Deccan Volcanic Province in India. As Lonar crater is a rare terrestrial crater formed entirely in basalt, it provides an excellent opportunity to study the impact deformation in target basalt, which is common on the surfaces of other terrestrial planets and their satellites. The present study aims at docum...
متن کاملImpact of Internal Structure on Foam Stability in Model Porous Media
Application of foam in EOR, increases macroscopic sweep efficiency via awesome increscent of mobility control. Macroscopic manifestation of foam application performance in porous media is complex process that involves several interacting microscopic foam events. Stability as an important factor in foam injection within large reservoirs, depends on several variables including oil saturation, con...
متن کاملCut Craters on Mars: a Study of Impact Craters Exposed in Cross Section
Introduction: The subsurface structure of impact craters on the Earth is typically accessible only through drill core data and geophysical surveys [e.g., 1, 2]. On Mars, some 20 impact craters have been identified in this study that have been cut by a combination of tectonic activity and erosion and are partially exposed in cross-section. Many of these cut craters lie along the walls of the Val...
