Barringer – United States

The Barringer Meteorite Crater (also called "Meteor Crater") in Arizona is almost 1 mile (1.6 kilometers) wide and 570 feet (174 meters) deep. Originally thought to be of volcanic origin, it was later discovered that the crater was formed by a meteorite just 50,000 years ago – not very long by geologic standards.
