Subject: rebound peak Помогите, плз. Речь идет о кратере, образованном астероидом. В центре его - холмы, напоминающие отскок воды при падении камня. Как назвать это явление? Обратное вспучивание? Смысл понятен, а термин найти не могу. Да, это субтитры, поэтому необходима краткость. Спасибо.THE HILLY REGION IN THE CENTER OF THE DEEP CRATER INITIALLY HAD SCIENTISTS THINKING THAT THERE’D BEEN VOLCANIC ACTIVITY IN THE AREA. BUT IT’S ACTUALLY WHAT’S KNOWN AS A CENTRAL REBOUND PEAK, A DISTINCTIVE FEATURE FOR CRATERS ABOUT 100 MILES WIDE OR LARGER. As you get to larger sizes, the energy of the impactor is so high that when it comes in, the rock essentially acts like it has no strength. And then what you get is something very much like when you drop a pebble in water and you see that rebound peak as the water fills in, comes back up. But since it is rock, it then solidifies. And we see lots of these central peaks on the moon and elsewhere in the solar system.
