Would an astroid impact in a mountain range affect it’s crater?
Hypothetically, a “city killing” sized asteroid has been tracked to impact Denver, Colorado. The impact point was off by 50 miles west and struck in the mountains. Would the resulting crater be akin to the one in Arizona or due to the elevating landscape be more shallow and jagged?
