Arandas (crater) km in diameter) they usually have a central peak. The peak is caused by a rebound of the crater floor following the impact. Sometimes craters expose layers that were buried. Rocks from deep underground are tossed onto the surface. Hence, craters can show us what lies deep under the surface. Arandas (crater) Arandas Crater is a crater in the Mare Acidalium quadrangle of Mars, located 42.77° North and 15.17° West. It is 24.76 km in diameter and is named after the town of Arandas in Mexico. South is the scalloped terrain of Cydonia Labyrinthus and further south is Cydonia Colles,
Gruithuisen (crater) the edge of the highland peninsula between the two maria is a domed mountainous rise that is designated Mons Gruithuisen Gamma (γ). Just to the east of this feature is another mountainous rise named Mons Gruithuisen Delta (δ). Northwest of Gruithuisen crater is concentrated cluster of several craterlets, which was most likely formed from a single body that broke up just prior to impact. By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Gruithuisen. Gruithuisen (crater) Gruithuisen is a lunar impact crater that lies on
