very different origins. Aorounga is the multi-ringed impact crater at
the center of the image. The crater has a diameter of 12.6 km and is
estimated to be less than 345 million years old. The impact nature of
the crater was confirmed in 1992 when a team of French investigators
identified shocked minerals at the site. The grooves running through
Aorounga were created by winds that blow around Tibesti. Emi Koussi,
the crater on the right, is a Holocene stratovolcano.
