The heavily cratered regions occur mostly in the southern hemisphere, and are separated from smoother and possibly topographically-lower northern plains regions by a global-scale boundary scarp.
The bright crater Kuiper near the center of the image (60 km diameter) is one of the largest young craters on Mercury and defines the Kuiperian stratigraphic unit, analogous to the Copernican unit on the Moon.
The craters at the heads of the islands are 8 km (upper) and 10 km (lower) diameter, and represent the compacted obstacles that caused the water to be diverted.

Impact craters are especially useful for learning about the history of the planet, and for learning whether the planet is geologically alive.
That is, if we find large impact craters on Venus, we can conclude that the age of that region of the surface of Venus is very old, probably more than three billion years.
The existence of numerous craters on Venus also implies that the surface of the planet, like that of the moon, Mars and Mercury, has not been significantly disturbed by plate-tectonics as it operates on Earth.

 LINCOLN LA PAZ: Mathematician, Meteorite Hunter, Astronomer
At the time of the article as it is today, the crater was in the hands of private ownership, but, in stark contrast to what one finds now, the site was not a commerical venture with throngs of visitors and tourists.
The crater is in an area of intense volcanic activity, surrounded by hundreds of cinder cones and similar geological features, so it was assumed to be of volcanic origin, thus attracting little attention.
The crater was neither monitored nor patrolled, quite sparse, and for all practical purposes, remote with poor access from the main road and surrounding areas.

Elves (crater cluster) - "A field of small craters honoring all those who prepare the crew and their spacecraft for the journey." The center of the Elves cluster is about a kilometer north and bit west of the crater Mackin.
Locke (crater)- "John Locke is representative of an age when interest grew in experimental science and observational philosophy as a substitute for the uncritical acceptance of the science and philosophy of the past." Cernan and Schmitt drove past Locke and the nearby crater Henry at the start of the third EVA.
Snoopy (crater) - "Named for the sometime-aviator dog in Charles Schulz' Peanuts comic strip and the 'longtime' supporter of quality and humor in space exploration." Following the 1967 Apollo fire that took the lives of astronauts Grissom, Chaffee, and White, Snoopy became the symbol of the reinvigorated Apollo quality assurance program.

From Baldwin's analysis of lunar and terrestrial explosion craters, it would appear that such a bolt ought to produce a lunar crater about 85 meter in diameter (see Figure 1.) Aristarchus, as indicated in the figure, was probably formed by an explosion, releasing some 2 X 1021 joules of energy.
The proportions of Lichtenberg figures are determined by such variable as the polarity of the surface with respect to the discharge, the magnitude of the impressed voltage (the potential drop across the spark gap), and the abruptness of the wave front in the flow of current.
It is more a crater than a mountain-an enormous pit 140 kilometers across at the crest of an impressive 17-kilometer rise from the floor of the Amazonis basin to the west.

There are approximately 100 known meteor craters on the Earth and over a dozen are larger than Barringer Meteor Crater.
In addition to the known craters, there are many more geological formations that may have been created by the impacts of meteorites.

 washingtonpost.com: The Sly Charm Of Taye Diggs
Diggs's wife of nearly two years (and girlfriend of six before that) is actress Idina Menzel, who won a Tony this year for her starring role as Elphaba the witch in the Broadway musical "Wicked." So he's hinted, but he's well aware the timing isn't great.
His dressing room is done mainly in red, with a bed for midday napping, and multiple photographs, many of Menzel.
During one of those times, Menzel was working and so was his good friend Steven Pasquale (now on FX's "Rescue Me"), so he started hanging out with Pasquale's girlfriend -- who at the time happened to be Levering.

In general, the feature type (Latin or Greek descriptor) remains the same regardless of its size; that is, a ridge is a "dorsum" whether it is 10 or 1000 km long.
Exceptions to this rule are channels (valles) on Mars and craters on the Moon, Mars, and Venus; names for these features differ according to size.
In this version of the Gazetteer, we continue to use the terms "crater" and "patera" for round features on Venus; by implication, most "craters" are considered to be impact features, whereas "paterae" are considered to be complex collapsed volcanic calderas.
