چکیده
Maars are monogenic volcanic edifices of peculiar morphology with a wide circular crater surrounded by a low gentle rim of erupted pyroclastic material. Craters of maars are deeply incised into underlying rocks (frequently down to the aquifer), which explains their frequent partial or complete water infill. Owing to their morphological peculiarities, maars are easily identifiable in air photos.

Reconstruction Glacier Circus in volcanic craters (Case study Kurdistan Qorveh)
Extended abstract Introduction The attention of forefront foreign researchers has focused on glacier circus. Glacial cirque is the most important pattern of glacial erosion. Deep depressions with steep walls, flat floor or low slope, half-bowl shaped (crescent shaped) are created at high altitudes in the mountains margin by the erosion of mountain glacier (Ahmadi, Feiznia, 2012).

The pyroclastic rocks of "The Crater", South Island, New Zealand belong to the Miocene, alkaline basaltic Dunedin Volcanic Group and represent an individual eruptive center with possible multiple vents. Three pyroclastic units have been separated at the study area based on textural and compositional features as well as their stratigraphic positions. The central part of The Crater comprises basa...
متن کاملDegradation of Victoria crater, Mars
[1] The 750 m diameter and 75 m deep Victoria crater in Meridiani Planum, Mars, is a degraded primary impact structure retaining a 5 m raised rim consisting of 1–2 m of uplifted rocks overlain by 3 m of ejecta at the rim crest. The rim is 120–220 m wide and is surrounded by a dark annulus reaching an average of 590 m beyond the raised rim. Comparison between observed morphology and that expecte...

Introduction: The transition zone between Elysium and Utopia is a highly complex area, characterized by Galaxias Chaos along the northern boundary and huge outflow channels dominating the northwestern part. Several very enigmatic morphologies are observed including some very distinctive crater morphologies [1], having bipartite crater ejecta consisting of an inner pattern of breached folds clos...
متن کاملGeologic Analysis of Deformation in the Interior Region of Artemis (venus,
Introduction: Artemis measures approximately 2600 km in diameter making it the largest known circular structure on a terrestrial planet. Artemis' most distinctive feature is Artemis Chasma, a ~25-200 km wide, ~1-2 km deep, ~2100 km diameter circular trough surrounding an interior topographic high. Ve-nus' surface abounds with circular to quasi-circular features at a variety of scales including,...
