A crater is a large, circular hole in the ground that could have been caused by several different things. Craters can be many kilometers wide and very deep. Craters are found on top of volcanoes, and they can be caused by meteors hitting the Earth. They are sometimes caused when the ground collapses above a large underground chamber like an old mine or a cave.

A dent is a hollow, like a shallow hole in a surface. Dents are usually caused by hitting something. The car in the picture has a dent in its side.
