Images of the moon's surface reveal a variety of crater morphologies that can be related to crater size. The transition from central peak crater to peak-ring crater is an example of a large transition zone, spanning a diameter range of some 100 km. Craters in this transition zone have either a central peak, a peak-ring, or both a central peak and peak-ring. The transition zone is bounded by Tsiolkovsky and Antoniadi - a central peak and peak-ring crater, respectively. These two craters are among 10 used here to study the correlation between crustal thickness and crater morphology, providing insight into aspects of the crater formation process that are not fully understood.
