Description: Large impact on Mars, animated. The impact has an energy of ~3x10^29 J, an impact velocity of 6 km/s, and an impact angle of 45deg. The impactor size is ~2200 km across. The surface features formed by such an impact are very similar to the characteristics of the Mars hemispheric dichotomy (the difference in elevation, crustal thickness, and crater density between the southern and northern hemispheres).
