Crater Lake in Oregon was formed in the caldera of Mount Mazama, an inactive volcano that collapsed around 7,700 years ago. It is known for its stunning blue color and is the deepest lake in the United States.
The Copernicus crater on the moon was formed by a large impact event, likely from an asteroid or comet colliding with the lunar surface. The impact created a circular depression that we see as the crater today.
The Meteor Crater in Arizona was formed around 50,000 years ago when a large meteorite struck the Earth. It is one of the best-preserved impact craters on Earth and is estimated to be around 50,000 years old.
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.

A meteor
Meteor Crater was formed by a meteor strike, not a guided missile from space. Call it a random act of nature.
a CRATER

Meteor crater, located in central-north Arizona, just off of I-40, east of Flagstaff.
That depends on where the crater is, and how it formed. Meteor craters on the Moon or Mars? Nothing generally fills them up, and lunar craters are still visible after many hundreds of thousands of years. On Earth? A meteor crater will, eventually, fill with dust or dirt and water. A good number of meteor craters are visible as circular lakes. The Meteor Crater in Barringer, AZ is still empty after 50,000 years. Volcanic craters sometimes fill with lava, or with dirt and water. Crater Lake in Nevada is a .... lake, filled with .... water.

Crater Lake was formed when Mount Mazama collapsed during a cataclysmic volcanic eruption and formed a crater-like hole called a caldera.
