Impact craters generally have a rim with ejecta around them, in contrast volcanic craters usually do not have a rim or ejecta deposits. As craters get larger (greater than 10 km in diameter) they usually have a central peak. [23] The peak is caused by a rebound of the crater floor following the impact. [24] Sometimes craters will display layers.
