Overview

Impact cratering of the earth's surface is discussed and compared with lunar craters. The basic types found on earth are either simple craters or complex impact structures and basins. Meteorite fragments and shock metamorphism provide evidence of a crater's formation by meteorite impact. Known craters on earth are ordered by location and a few principal facts are given for each crater and the general terrain in which it is located. A satellite picture of each crater and maps identifying crater locations are provided. Grieve, R. A. F. and Wood, C. A. and Garvin, J. B. and Mclaughlin, G. and Mchone, J.
