The Wolfe Creek Crater in Australia is formed by a meteorite impact and consists mainly of sandstone rocks that were already present in the area before the impact. However, impact-related rocks such as breccia (a mixture of fragmented rocks) and impact melt rocks can also be found in and around the crater. These rocks contain evidence of the intense heat and pressure generated during the impact event.
A meteor only hits the Earth's atmosphere, not the Earth itself. When it impacts the Earth's surface, it is called a meteorite. The largest meteorite crater in Australia is the Wolfe Creek crater which is also the second largest meteorite crater in the world. The crater has a diameter of about 875m, and is over 50m deep. Originally, it was about 150m deep, but windblown sand, gypsum and calcite has filled in the crater over time, and given the floor of the crater a smooth, flat surface. The Wolfe Creek Crater lies on the northeastern edge of the Great Sandy Desert, about 90 km south of Halls Creek in north Western Australia. It can only be reached by an unsealed road that joins the Tanami Rd, 145km south of Halls Creek. The journey from Halls Creek takes between 1.5 and 2 hours.
