List of impact structures on Earth

This list of impact structures on Earth contains the majority of the 194+ confirmed impact structures given in the Earth Impact Database as of 2024.
Alphabetical lists for different continents can be found under [|Impact structures by continent] below.
Unconfirmed structures can be found at List of possible impact structures on Earth.

Confirmed impact structures listed by size and age

These features were caused by the collision of meteors or comets with the Earth. For eroded or buried craters, the stated diameter typically refers to the best available estimate of the original rim diameter, and may not correspond to present surface features. Time units are either in ka or Ma of years.

10 ka or less

Less than ten thousand years old, and with a diameter of or more. The EID lists fewer than ten such craters, and the largest in the last 100,000 years is the Rio Cuarto crater in Argentina. However, there is some uncertainty regarding its origins and age, with some sources giving it as < 10 ka while the EID gives a broader < 100 ka.
The Kaali impacts during the Nordic Bronze Age may have influenced Estonian and Finnish mythology, the Campo del Cielo could be in the legends of some Native Argentine tribes, while Henbury has figured in Australian Aboriginal oral traditions.

10 ka to 1 Ma

From between 10 thousand years and one million years ago, and with a diameter of less than :

From between ten thousand years and one million years ago, and with a diameter of or more. The largest in the last one million years is the Zhamanshin crater in Kazakhstan and has been described as being capable of producing a nuclear-like winter.
The source of the enormous Australasian strewnfield is a currently undiscovered crater probably located in Southeast Asia.

1 Ma to 10 Ma

From between 1 and 10 million years ago. The large but apparently craterless Eltanin impact into the Pacific Ocean has been suggested as contributing to the glaciations and cooling during the Pliocene.

10 Ma or more

Most recorded impact craters are over 10 million years old, or have widely uncertain ages. The Chicxulub impact has been widely considered the most likely cause for the Cretaceous–Paleogene mass extinction, with some scholars linking other impacts like the Popigai impact in Russia and the Chesapeake Bay impact to later extinction events, though the causal relationship has been questioned.
