Meteor Crater, located in Arizona, has an elevation of approximately 5,640 feet (1,720 meters) above sea level. This iconic impact site is about 4.5 kilometers (2.8 miles) in diameter and was formed by a meteorite impact around 50,000 years ago. The crater's elevation contributes to its unique geological features and the surrounding high desert landscape.
It has been estimated that Meteor Crater was formed about 50,000 years ago.
The meteor crater in Arizona was created around 50,000 years ago when a meteorite struck the Earth's surface, forming the crater we see today.

Giant meteors have hit the Earth many times. Probably the most destructive - so far - was Chicxulub which "may" have been the cause of the dinosaurs extinction.The most notable crater in the US is - not surprisingly - called meteor crater. Located in the Arizona desert, near Winslow.
Meteor Crater in Arizona is approximately 1 mile in diameter, 2.4 miles in circumference, and about 550 feet deep. It was formed around 50,000 years ago by the impact of a meteorite traveling at a speed of about 26,000 miles per hour.
The lowest elevation in the Meteor Crater, also known as Barringer Crater, is approximately 5,600 feet (1,707 meters) above sea level. The crater itself is about 3,900 feet (1,189 meters) in diameter and has a depth of around 570 feet (174 meters) from its rim to the floor. The surrounding terrain is higher, contributing to this elevation.
When a meteor hits the Earth it forms a crater.
It has been estimated that Meteor Crater was formed about 50,000 years ago.
The name of the great meteor crater in Arizona is simply called Meteor Crater. It is also known as Barringer Crater, named after Daniel Barringer who was one of the first to suggest it was formed by a meteor impact.
Arizona meteor crater is 0.737 miles or 1.186 kilometers in diameter.
182 miles taking this route:Go across to I-17; follow signs to I-17 NORTH.Take I-17 NORTH to I-40 EAST to ALBUQUERQUE at EXIT 340A in FLAGSTAFF.Take I-40 EAST to METEOR CRATER RD to METEOR CRATER NATURAL LANDMARK at EXIT 233; TURN RIGHT off the exit ramp onto Meteor Crater Rd.Take Meteor Crater Rd to the Meteor Crater Natural Landmark.
No, Meteor Crater is not designated as a national park. It is a privately owned site in Arizona.
