Arizona is home to several notable craters, with the most famous being the Barringer Crater, also known as Meteor Crater. In total, there are around 600 identified impact craters in the state, varying in size and age. Many of these craters are remnants of meteorite impacts that occurred over millions of years.
What else can I help you with?
Where have meteorites crashed and left craters?
There are hundreds. Probably the most obvious is the Barringer Meteor Crater in Winslow, Arizona, USA, but there are craters all over. Many of them are so old and so enormous that we didn't realize they were ancient craters until we saw satellite photos of them.
Why does the moon have craters an the earth does not?
The Earth does have craters, but because of the seas and vegetation on land, they are not as noticeable. However there are some that are very noticeable, like the famous one in Arizona. Craters on Earth and the Moon are caused by impacts of meteorites.
Why are craters found on planets expect Earth?
There are craters on Earth. Meteor Crater, Arizona is one example, but there are lots of others as well. On Earth, wind and rain and the activities of plants and animals cause erosion, so the craters fade over time. Also, the atmosphere does slow down or vaporize many meteors, so there aren't as many strikes in the first place.
