When considering meteorites that are described as "impact melt", I have a question regarding the heat required to melt the materials.
How is the heat responsible for the melting generated? In other words, is the heat generated by the impact itself or the immediate after-effects of the impact? Is it the moment of impact that produces the heat, or is the heat produced by the subsequent compression of materials at the point of impact?
