Scientific paper

The mechanisms leading to craters suggestive of multiple impacts on Venus are reviewed, and the concepts are examined in the light of crater impacts on the moon and Mars. Atmospheric pressure is theorized to be an important multiple-impact mechanism for Venus; the planet has a highly dense atmosphere that can induce impactor dissemblage. The difficulty in assuming a mechanism on other planets is emphasized, and the physical state of the impactor is important. Impactor dissemblage due to gravitation from the moon is considered for the case of the Australasian tektite strewn field.
