See at 0:52
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74920810


I still see a circular ripple. The only thing at 0:52 is a splash outside of that from the impact. The ripple is still circular.

Secondary ripple is due to water splash falling down perpendicularly. The impact ripple is not circular. Do you suggest that rocky surface behaves identically?
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 74920810


Impact ripple still looks circular.
As mentioned before, with very high energy impacts the surface acts more like a liquid, so yes.
I've heard you can also simulate it with rocks in a pan of flour.

Any impact ripple looks "circular" except it is not circular, as it depends on the form of projectile and its velocity vector.
