Impact craters are the remains of collisions between an asteroid or meteorite and the Earth.
An impact crater (impact basin, astrobleme or sometimes crater) is a circular or oval depression on a surface, usually referring to a planet, moon, asteroid, or other celestial body, caused by a collision of a smaller body (meteor) with the surface. The Meteor Crater (Barringer Crater) is a prime example.
