Question

The satellite photograph above shows a large meteorite crater that is 1200 m in diameter and 170 m deep. This crater is located in a flat, arid part of northeastern Arizona.

How will this crater most likely change over time?
A) It will get deeper as it fills with water.
B) It will rise up like a volcanic crater.
C) It will become less deep as the rim erodes.
D) It will widen as it fills with lava.

Answer 1

Correct question:

The satellite photograph attached shows a large meteorite crater that is 1200 m in diameter and 170 m deep. This crater is located in a flat, arid part of northeastern Arizona.

How will this crater most likely change over time?

A) It will get deeper as it fills with water.

B) It will rise up like a volcanic crater.

C) It will become less deep as the rim erodes.

D) It will widen as it fills with lava.

Answer:

Option C

Step-by-step explanation:

It will become less deep as the rim erodes.

A crater is a deformation of the earth that is sometimes caused by a meteorite, volcanic activity, or an explosion.

-A:this option doesn't make any sense as to how the crater will change

-B:there is no mechanism for crater rising like a vulcanic crater.

-D: meteorite crater have nothing to do with vulcanic craters and lava

For this options, the crater will become less deep as the rim erode

Answer 2

C. It becomes less deeper as the rim erodes

Step-by-step explanation:

A crater formed on the earth surface as the the bollide collides with our planet would leave a deep hole.

The hole would serve as a natural depression, a sort of basin, for sediments to accumulate as the rim of the crater at higher elevation begins to erode.

It is always a common thing to find sedimentary sequences in such a crater.
