An ejecta blanket is a generally symmetrical apron of ejecta that surrounds a crater; it is layered thickly at the crater’s rim and thin to discontinuous at the blanket’s outer edge. 〔 〕 After an impact event, the falling debris forms an ejecta blanket surrounding the crater. Approximately half the volume of ejecta falls within 1 crater radius of the rim, or 2 radii from the center of the crater. The ejecta blanket becomes thinner with distance and increasingly discontinuous. Over 90% of the debris falls within approximately 5 radii of the center of the crater. Ejecta which falls within that area is considered proximal ejecta. Beyond 5 radii, the discontinuous debris is considered distal ejecta. == References == 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ejecta blanket」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
