Tsenkher meteorite crater [Nomin Tsenkher uul], located in the southwest of Mongolia, protected area - Big Gobi Nature Reserve, Cluster A [Shargyn Govi]. Center coordinates: 43.635583° / 98.363694°, height of the crater floor 943.0 m. The crater Tsenkher in is located between the Erden and Khevtsagai ridges. The structure is located within a basin 10-20 km wide, surrounded by low mountain ranges. The Tsenkher astroblem is a partially destroyed structure with a diameter of 7.3 km. The crater has a bright, rounded shape, slightly elongated in a northerly direction, and dipping northeast. The radius of the visible edge of the crater is on average 3.6-3.7 km, varying from 3.5 km to 4 km. The outer shaft of the structure is located at a distance of 1-2 km from the crater, continuous, except for the destroyed northern part. Along the periphery of the crater, radial and tangential faults and cracks are found in abundance. 2. World Imagery (ESRI Inc.) provides one meter or better satellite and aerial imagery in many parts of the world and lower resolution satellite imagery worldwide. The map includes 15m TerraColor imagery at small and mid-scales and 2,5m SPOT Imagery for the world. In other parts of the world, 1 meter resolution imagery is available from GeoEye IKONOS, AeroGRID, and IGN Spain. Additionally, imagery at different resolutions has been contributed by the GIS User Community. When preparing the design of a series of unified images, a scale scale and a circular scale with divisions in degrees were used (MapTools Inc.). 3. Compiled from a variety of sources, including contributions from the GIS User Community, the World Hillshade (Dark) map provides a multi-directional terrain hillshade rendering of 24-meter elevation data globally and 10-meter or better in many parts of the world. Inspired by the legendary Swiss artist, Eduard Imhof, multi-directional hillshade maps present unparalleled views of the world’s mountains, plateaus, valleys and canyons by using an algorithm that computes light source from six different directions (as opposed to one direction in a default hillshade). The result is a stunning visualization in both high slope and expressionless areas. This Dark version of our World Hillshade is especially useful in building maps that provide terrain context while highlighting feature layers and labels.
