The favoured hypothesis for the origin of this geomorphologic unit is that shock waves generated during the impact traveled around the planet, and when they converged at the basin’s antipode (180 degrees away) the high stresses were capable of fracturing the surface.

Hypothesis de huius geomorphologicae unitatis origine est ut impulsus undae, dum impulsus per planetam iter faceret generata sunt et, se in conchae antipodes (180 gradus longe) convergentibus, potentes pressiones superficiem frangere potuerunt.
