CQ Science – Post 13: How Impacts Change the Rocks – Samples in Hand
We saw in our last post in this series (Post 12) that impact events can change the target rocks in many ways. Some of these changes can be seen from orbit. But something as powerful as an impact event can also change the target rocks in dramatic ways that you can only...

CQ Science – Post 12: How Impacts Change the Rocks – Remote Sensing
As we’ve discussed in this series of posts, impact cratering events are highly energetic. They do much more than explode a huge hole in the ground – such events change the nature of the rocks themselves. Target rocks can be broken to pieces, shattered into dust,...
