Flat Floored Crater

Such flat floors extend across the entire reach of the crater bottom or can be interrupted at the center by a central peak or peak ring.

Flat floored crater.

Simple craters are 10 miles in diameter or less. This is the main reason why it is called a flat floored or anomalous dome crater. Such flat floors extend across the entire reach of the crater bottom or can be interrupted at the center by a central peak or peak ring. Lofn is a shallow crater as compared to other craters of similar size.

They start with rounded floors then progress to a flat floor resulting from a cascade of boulders that have rolled down the interior walls and settled at the bottom. Flat floored craters occur in complex craters or highly degraded or modified simple craters. The flat portion of the floor may occur at the crater center or occur as an annulus around a central uplift synonymsflat floored impact craterdescriptionimpact craters can have a variable floor. One variant of the floor morphology is a relatively flat more or less level floor.

Flat floored craters occur in complex craters or highly degraded or modified simple craters. In diameter located about 40 miles southwest of the crater lalande is a good example of a simple crater. The deep bay flat floored crater is a nearly circular lake near the south end of reindeer lake. Other examples of such craters are doh and bran.
