Crater
Crater explained in an easy to understand way:
Imagine you're at a beach, and you watch as a child throws a stone into the sand, creating a small depression where it lands. This scene is quite similar to how craters form on Earth or other celestial bodies when a smaller object, like a meteor, strikes their surface and creates a large pit. Just as the stone disrupts the smooth surface of the sand by transferring its energy into the ground and pushing the particles aside, a meteor impacts a planet's surface, transferring its kinetic energy, displacing material, and forming a crater.
