Craters

[corbystock]

If craters are made by meteors hitting the earth...... where has the meteor gone ? Surely if you've got a big hole in the ground you can only see it once you've taken out the thing that made the hole ?

When it hits it goes BOOM & blows to bits

Hi Brian, it's images like these that make me think, but where are all the bits? http://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...lz=1T4ADBF_en-GBGB268GB269&q=craters+on+earth

The energy of the impact vapourises the meteor, all that is left is a dust/coating over the surrounding miles. From what I remember is is visible as a very narrow line in geological samples around the impact sites
