Impact-induced changes in source depth and volume of magmatism on Mercury and their observational signatures
Mercury’s crust is mostly the result of partial melting in the mantle associated with solid-state convection. Large impacts induce additional melting by generating subsurface thermal anomalies. By numerically investigating the geodynamical effects of impacts, here we show that impact-generated therm...
