When did the last meteor landed in Earth and what were some effects?
1990 it created a very big crater
Did a meteor hit the earth last night?
No. A meteor cannot hit the earth: meteors burn up in the earth's atmosphere. A meteorite, indeed slots of them, hit the earth last night. Astronomers estimate between 36 and 166 meteorites larger than 10grams fall to Earth per million square kilometres each year. Over the whole surface area of Earth, that translates to 18,000to 84,000meteorites bigger than 10grams per year. That is a minimum of at nearly 50 a day.
Which of Jupiter's four major moons has not had any resurfacing excluding asteroid or meteor hits within the last three billion years?
Callisto
Is a water fall a geological event?
No. It is a geological feature. The term "geological event" is usually reserved for these items:EarthquakesVolcanic eruptionsVery major LandslidesComet or Meteor impactsGeological events are something that effects at a minimum a large region (thousands of square miles) and has a significant impact on the local climate, terrain, flora, and/or fauna. Some would not classify the last example above as a geological event, since it is something that happens TO the earth, rather than the earth itself changing. By earth, I mean the landmass, not the biosphere.
What is the name of the last meteor that hit earth?
A meteor cannot hit the earth: meteors burn up in the atmosphere. The last meteorite to hit the earth was too insignificant to be named. Astronomers estimate between 36 and 166 meteorites larger than 10grams fall to Earth per million square kilometres each year. Over the whole surface area of Earth, that translates to 18,000to 84,000meteorites bigger than 10grams per year. These are simply too insignificant to merit a name!
A rock that crashes into earths atmosphere?
We call the fireball caused by friction and compressive heating a "meteor" as it passes through the atmosphere. The fragments that last long enough to strike the ground are called "meteorites".
Where was the last asteroid hit on earth?
There was one significant asteroid impact in 1908 - the Tunguska event. It is possible that smaller asteroids hit Earth after that. There was a smaller asteroid/meteor impact more recently - the Chelyabinsk event in 2013.

When will be the next meteor shower in 2014?
Small meteors hit the Earth every minute of each day. Larger meteors, big enough to be visible, hit the Earth several times each hour. In a "meteor shower", you may see over a hundred meteors an hour. Big meteors, big enough to hit the Earth, happen a few times every day. There are dozens of meteorite museums all over the country. Really big meteors, enough to cause a lot of damage, are fairly rare, fortunately. The last REALLY big meteor landed in Siberia, 100 years ago; it caused as much damage as an atomic bomb! Fortunately, very few people lived in Siberia back then.
Is it true that a boy got hit in the hand with a meteor?
Yes, it is. Gerrit Blank, a 14-year old boy in Germany, was struck in the hand by a meteor about half the size of a peanut. See the link below for details.It's extremely rare; only one other person is known to have been hit by a meteor. But with 5 billion people on Earth over the last hundred years, it was bound to happen.
