What are you talking about? The dome doesn't go away on. this is a very interesting find. It was referenced to in another thread a few weeks ago, but received little interest. Strange.
It is not just an impact crater. As stated above, an object that size would create a much larger crater. To stay in tact and be that shape is a real anomoly. Also in the article referenced to above, note that there are two crates like this within proximity of each other on mars...the really strange part is that both spheres are "exactly" the same size.

Of course it would turn into a depression?? I don't understand what you are trying to prove. If it is just to try to determin size I believe there were measurements and dimensions provided in one of the earlier links in this thread.
I agree "disappear" is definitely the wrong word.
On Mars the cities are all underground and are connected together by huge oval metal tubes from three to five hundred feet in diameter...Because of the great distances between the cities, these tubes have been built only partially submerged...The shifting desert sands often cover or uncover them which leads to further confusion inasmuch as they seem to appear and disappear...Like all cities on Mars, it is built on the floor of a huge metal dome. These domes are sometimes four or five miles in diameter, and up to three thousand feet high....As these domes are built in the bottom of excavations, the sands soon drift over them and cover them up, giving added protection from the strong surface rays.

Sometimes, when meteor fragments slam into planets, craters like this are formed; creating mountain-like formations in a variety of shapes - depending on the angle which the meteor hit. Here is an interesting link about the strange Mars craters:

Great image!
I am *not* a geologist (or astro-geologist either, come to that!) but could this be an example of a volcanic caldera/ dome under the influence of a lower gravitational "pull" and less "weathering" and erosion as we would find on Mars??
Here's an image geopubs.wr.usgs.gov...
And a Google search will reveal more...
Just a thought...
