How are boulders formed on asteroids?

Question

For example: Are they soft landed meteorites? Or do they form from melted material during a violent impact? Or are they the result of some kind of erosion process?

Answer 1

If one assumes that asteroids were caused by collisions, or breakup of planets, planetoids etc, it is logical that huge objects like the asteroid will catch in its gravitational field debris that resulted from the collision or explosion, much like satellites that rotate the earth will eventually return to earth, small thing, pulled by the big thing.
