Scientific paper

The model of Venusian "splotches" formation is presented. The model is based on calculations of atmospheric shock waves generated during the meteoroid impact. Estimates show that the interaction of compression/rarefaction zones behind of these waves with loose surface material is enough strong to create the shallow low density "splotch" with the radius of 20 to 40 km around the impact point.
