Slow Impacts on Strong Targets Bring on the Heat
Abstract An important new paper by Kurosawa and Genda (2017, https://doi.org/10.1002/2017GL076285) reports a previously overlooked source of heating in low velocity meteorite impacts. Plastic deformation of the pressure‐strengthened rocks behind the shock front dissipates energy, which appears as he...
