"The Barringer Meteorite Crater (also known as "Meteor Crater") is a gigantic hole in the middle of the arid sandstone of the Arizona desert. A rim of smashed and jumbled boulders, some of them the size of small houses, rises 150 feet above the level of the surrounding plain. The crater itself is nearly a mile wide, and 570 feet deep."

What is the evidence the meteor crater is eroding?
meteor crater will only erode if there is some natural source such as wind or water eroding it. Since most planets besides our own do not have an atmosphere or water this process is not available. On the Earth a crater eroding would be evidenced with erosion type qualities such as furrows from water a filled crater bottom and a rounded off top.
