摘要
The tsunami model of the origin of multi-ring basins by an initial surface deformation, which is set as a calculating the ring radius. The formula applied to is analysed with the theory of deep water waves generated parabolic crater. We obtain an approximate formula for some multi-ring basins on the Moon, Mercury and Mars gives almost equidistant spacing of the rings within the main ring (the Ⅳ ring); this agrees with the previous conclusion that the Ⅳ ring marks the end of the fluidized region. Besides this, the theory of deep water waves does not require similar crustal structure at each basin-impact site on all three planets which is required in the theory of shallow water waves.
