bomb crater
Munition's ground scar
A bomb crater is a bowl-shaped depression in the ground left by an exploding bomb.
The size varies with the bomb's force—from small pits to massive cavities dozens of meters across.
Bomb craters appear in war photography and persist in landscapes long after conflicts end: The field was pocked with bomb craters from the air raids.
