Crater Collapse Processes

Crater Collapse Processes is a geophysical phenomenon characterized by the post-impact gravitational readjustment and structural deformation of transient crater cavities, distinguishing it from primary impact and ejecta emplacement processes through its focus on the mechanical failure and inward movement of crater walls and central uplift formation.
