impactexhumation
Impact exhumation is a geological process that occurs when a buried impact crater is uplifted and exposed to the surface. This process can result from a variety of factors, including erosion, tectonic activity, and changes in sea level. As a result of impact exhumation, impact structures that were previously buried beneath thousands of meters of rock and sediment are brought to the surface, providing valuable information about the Earth's geological history.
Impact exhumation can occur through the action of rivers, glaciers, and other erosional processes. For example,
The study of impact exhumation is important for understanding the Earth's geological history, as it provides
Examples of impact exhumation can be seen in the Meteor Crater in Arizona, USA, and the Dark
