What is the contour interval for this map?

How would expect this feature to change over time?

• The crater will continue to deepen as water erodes the rim.

• The crater will fill as wind deposits sediments inside the crater.

• The crater will continue to deepen as wind weathers the rocks inside the crater.

• The crater will fill as water weathers the sediments outside the crater.
