Science Question:
What is the relationship between a crater’s depth, diameter, and ejecta length?
Main Results:
1) The depth of a crater is related to the diameter of the crater through a power function.


2) The relationship between the diameter and the ejecta length of a crater is roughly one to one.


3) The depth, diameter, and ejecta length relationships appear the same for both rampart and non-rampart craters.
