I remember reading an article not too long ago that provided much info on
this, as well as a formula that might predict various outcomes, depending on
which body in our solar system you were interested. I could not find it on
my HDD, so I did a search on google for 'impact central uplift formula'
http://www.google.com.au/search?hl=en&q=impact+central+uplift+formula&meta=
and found this, it provides the formula.
http://www.bookrags.com/sciences/earthscience/impact-crater-woes-01.html
There is a fair amout of other good reading provided by the search.
All the best, Kevin.

Michel:
IMHO, "it all depends". From my research, the best I could come up with:
quoted from my web-site:
http://www.ottawa.rasc.ca/astronomy/earth_craters/intro.html
"In this article, I will present the craters that I have explored in the
order of their size, starting with simple craters, moving to complex
craters and finishing with multiring basins. The transition size between
simple to complex craters is 2km in sediments and 4km in crystalline rocks.
The transition size between complex to ringed basin craters is 10 to 50
km."
I would love more input on this.
Thanks

Dear list
I was wandering what is the minimum size of terrestrial impact crater
that show a central uplift.
Best regards
