This view shows two craters in an area of smooth plains. The crater on the left presents an interesting geological puzzle. Note that about 90° of the rim (in the east, the right side) is sharp. But the remaining 270° of the circumference consists of a broad terrace, formed by slumping and inward movement of material. Why do you think that part of the rim and wall suffered slumping? Differences in the strength of the target material? (And, if so, caused by what?) The angle at which the impactor struck the surface? The topography of the surface? The presence of buried topography or structures? Local or regional tectonics? What additional data could help to solve this riddle? http://photojournal.jpl.nasa.gov/catalog/PIA19232
