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.

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.
