[QUOTE="Snattlerake, post: 4330856, member: 44288"] Comparing the above to the Arizona meteor crater. I have been to this one. I almost lost my hat due to the wind coming up from the walls. It's about 6 miles from I 40. just outside of Winslow. The asteroid that created Meteor Crater in Arizona was estimated to be between 30 and 50 meters in diameter, or about 100 to 170 feet across. The impact of this iron-nickel meteorite, which occurred about 50,000 years ago, created a crater that is 0.75 miles across and 600 feet deep. [ATTACH type="full"]512747[/ATTACH] The impact of the meteorite was so powerful that it blasted millions of tons of sandstone and limestone out of the crater, creating an ejecta blanket of pulverized rock, meteorite fragments, and melted sandstone and limestone. The impact was estimated to have released the energy of over 2 million tons of TNT, which is about 150 times the force of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima. [/QUOTE]
