The Pingualuit Crater ( French: cratère des Pingualuit ; Inuktitut, " where the land rises "), formerly called Chubb Crater and later New Quebec Crater ( cratère du Nouveau-Québec ), is a young impact crater, by geological standards, located in the Ungava Peninsula of Quebec, Canada.

The crater and the surrounding area are now part of Pingualuit National Park.

Arctic char are also found in Lake Pingualuit, a lake formed roughly 1. 4 million years ago from an impact crater.

Meteor Crater is perhaps the best-known example of a small impact crater on the Earth.

Daniel Barringer ( 1860 – 1929 ) was one of the first to identify an impact crater, Meteor Crater in Arizona ; to crater specialists the site is referred to as Barringer Crater in his honor.

Barringer Crater ( a. k. a. Meteor Crater ) in Arizona was the world's first confirmed impact crater

Examples of craters caused by iron meteoroids include Barringer Meteor Crater, Odessa Meteor Crater, Wabar craters, and Wolfe Creek crater ; iron meteorites are found in association with all of these craters.

The Holsinger meteorite is the largest discovered fragment of the meteorite that created Meteor Crater and it is exhibited in the crater visitor center. The Barringer Meteor Crater from space.

Meteor Crater is a meteorite impact crater approximately east of Flagstaff, near Winslow in the northern Arizona desert of the United States.

The nearby Meteor Crater, sometimes known as the Barringer Crater and formerly as the Canyon Diablo crater, is a famous impact crater.

Odessa Meteor Crater, an impact crater with in diameter, is located southwest of the city.

Daniel Moreau Barringer ( May 25, 1860 – November 30, 1929 ) was a geologist best known as the first person to prove the existence of a meteorite crater on the Earth, the Meteor Crater in Arizona.

John Weber and his associates presented fission track dating of apatite from the crater at the Society for Sedimentary Geology ( SEPM ) Research Conference, " The Sedimentary Record of Meteor Impacts " ( 21 – 23 May 2003, Springfield, Missouri ).

The other theory is an eroded impact crater, like the much younger Meteor Crater near Winslow, Arizona.

The biggest fragment ever found is the Holsinger Meteorite, weighing 639 kg, now on display in the Meteor Crater Visitor Center on the rim of the crater.

Since that time, the rate of crater production on Earth has been considerably lower, but it is appreciable nonetheless ; Earth experiences from one to three impacts large enough to produce a 20 km diameter crater about once every million years on average.

The surface of the glacier, once mostly without crevasses, turned into a chaotic jumble of icefalls heavily criss-crossed with crevasses and seracs caused by movement of the crater floor.

North Lake County includes many geological sites including the Fort Rock, a crater marked by wave activity in what was once an ice age lake bed, and the Fort Rock Homestead Village Museum.

It runs from a region of southern lowlands thought to have once contained a large group of lakes ( see Eridania Lake ) north to Gusev crater near the equator.

The destruction of Pittsburgh, which became known as the Black Event was detailed in the one shot The Pitt, named after the nickname for the huge crater which existed where Pittsburgh had once been.

Scientists were delighted that the rover landed there, as the crater contains rocky outcroppings that helped prove that Meridiani was once an ocean floor.

Upon closer, in-situ examination of the outcrops, whose layers are no thicker than a finger, it was confirmed that Meridiani Planum was once the location of an ancient, somewhat acidic and salty sea, though much more information on the history of this area would start being collected more than three months later, when Opportunity visited the much larger crater Endurance to the east.

Overlying this graben is a layer of breccia which is apparently the remains of an ejecta blanket that once surrounded the crater.

The deformed area is exposed at the surface and marked by a 3 km diameter ring of fractured and faulted sandstone, which is interpreted as the eroded relic of a central uplift ( material that rebounded within the crater to once form a central peak ); the original crater rim, long since removed by erosion, being estimated at approximately 9 – 12 km diameter.

It contains the enormous expanse of the Caldera de Taburiente, once believed to be a huge crater, but nowadays known to be a mountain arch with a curious crater shape, which dominates the northern part of the island.

If the crater once possessed a central peak, it is no longer apparent.

The Arayat amphitheatre is said to have been caused by the summit's collapse on the western side but a much deeper crater is present on the eastern side, it was said that the mountain was once a volcanic island, until eruptions covered the surrounding area with soil, eruptions were said to be the possible cause of a theorized re-route of Pampanga River which is said to have once passed on the western side rather than eastern side where it currently moves.

The summit crater Regiomontanus A was once considered proof of volcanic activity on the Moon.

If the crater once had a central peak, it is no longer evident.

The blast created a crater 6, 240 feet ( 1. 9 km ) in diameter and 164 feet ( 50 m ) deep where Elugelab had once been ; the blast and water waves from the explosion ( some waves up to twenty feet high ) stripped the test islands clean of vegetation, as observed by a helicopter survey within 60 minutes after the test, by which time the mushroom cloud and steam were blown away.

A crater lake once filled much of the caldera to a depth of over, but the lake ultimately drained through a notch eroded in the northeast rim.

If the crater once possessed a central peak, no sign of this feature now remains.

If the crater once possessed a central peak, it is now buried by the ejecta from Drygalski.

There is an outward bulge in the northeastern rim, possibly the remnant of another crater formation that once overlapped Baily.
