Pulverized rock that is scattered by meteorite impacts on a planet's surface More so, it's the debris that gets blasted out of a crater when a meteorite hits It comes back down to the surface and when it does it forms an ejecta blanket around the crater
Material that is thrown out by a volcano, including pyroclastic material (tephra) and, from some volcanoes, lava bombs
The material thrown out of an impact crater by the shock pressures generated during the impact event Ejecta generally covers the surface around an impact crater to a distance of at least one crater diameter, with individual streamers of material extending well beyond this distance The ejecta blanket of a crater becomes less visible with increasing age of the crater (See also rays)
material thrown away from an impact crater (or volcano) that lands on the surrounding terrain
Material expelled from the impact site during a crater formation electromagnetic radiation - Carries energy through a medium, including empty space, where it travels at the speed of light in the form of a wave of tiny packets of energy (see photons)
Material from beneath the surface of a body such as a moon or planet that is ejected by an impact such as a meteor and distributed around the surface Ejecta usually appears as a lighter color than the surrounding surface
Rock fragments, glass, and other material thrown out of an impact crater or a volcano
Material from the Sun which propagates out from the Sun and generates major interplanetary and magnetospheric effects
Material excavated from an impact crater, such as the blanket of material surrounding lunar craters and crater rays
