Yamamoto (crater)

Yamamoto (crater) is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Yamamoto (crater) rather than just read about it. In short: Yamamoto is a damaged lunar impact crater that is located to the north of the large walled plain called D'Alembert. To the north-northeast is the crater Avogadro.

Key takeaways

Yamamoto (crater) belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Yamamoto (crater) to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Yamamoto (crater) from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Yamamoto is a damaged lunar impact crater that is located to the north of the large walled plain called D'Alembert. To the north-northeast is the crater Avogadro. This feature lies on the northern hemisphere of the Moon's far side. Several parts of the crater rim are overlain by subsequent impacts, particularly along the northeastern section which has been almost completely obliterated. The southwest part of the floor is more irregular than the remainder of the interior, and may have been overlain by ejecta from D'Alembert or elsewhere. The northeastern floor is relatively level and featureless.

Satellite craters By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater midpoint that is closest to Yamamoto. By this IAU calculation, Yamamoto W would be located within the bowl of Oberth crater.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Yamamoto (crater)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Yamamoto (crater) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Yamamoto (crater) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Yamamoto (crater) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Yamamoto (crater)

In research: Yamamoto (crater) appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Yamamoto (crater) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Yamamoto (crater) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Impact craters on the Moon, LQ07 quadrangle, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Yamamoto (crater) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
