Valles Caldera
I wonder that the Valles Caldera of the Jemez Mountain Range, though now classified as "resurgent," was initiated by impact.
I suspect that an impact where the Earth's magma subsurface level is "just right," effectively "fractures" the crust of the earth and in slow motion, resembles something like this:

Ulysses Patera on Mars, showing two impact craters of later dates than the resurgent structure.The smaller impacts did not cause "fractures." While the larger, older impact did, causing a large outward plume, some of which then collapsed back upon the hole, the heat and heat of vibration smoothing the matter --- whereas in the case of the Valles Caldera, the resulting splash is Redondo:
It's just a theory.

Silverpit's main crater is 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) wide with a central peak that probably formed when the Earth rebounded from the impact of the incoming cosmic projectile, scientists said.
