Peak Rings

Peak Rings is a structural geological feature characterized as a circular or arcuate arrangement of uplifted rock formations within the central region of large impact craters, distinguished from simpler central peaks by its annular morphology resulting from gravitational collapse and dynamic rebound processes during crater formation.
