Large impacts provide a mechanism for resurfacing planets through mixing near-surface rocks with deeper material. Central peaks are formed from the dynamic uplift of rocks during crater formation. As crater size increases, central peaks transition to peak rings.

- The sea bed morphology in the eastern English Channel shows that erosion was primarily caused by river processes during glacial-interglacial cycles, not by flooding from the Straits of Dover.
- Using advanced techniques like multibeam bathymetry and seismic profiling, researchers developed a stratigraphic model that outlines the history of erosion and sediment deposition in the area.
- The study identified five major erosion surfaces and highlights how geological conditions, climate variations, and river dynamics influenced the extent of erosion from Marine Isotope Stage 6 to Stage 1.
