Multi-ring basin craters are the largest type of crater found in the solar system. They are caused by the asteroid hitting a hard, rigid surface and causing ripples in the layer under the surface.

Where and what size is the largest meteor crater in the world?

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.
