Thin section of impact glass (zhamansihita) from Zhamanshin crater.
When a large meteorite hits a planet, it can radically deform the rocks and regolith that it hits. The heat, pressure, and shock of the impact changes these materials into impactite.[3] Only very massive impacts generate the heat and pressure needed to transform a rock, so impactites are created rarely
