The kind of crater will depend on the size, composition, degree of fragmentation, and incoming angle of the impactor. The force of such collisions has the potential to cause widespread destruction.<sup id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The most frequent hypervelocity cratering events on the Earth are caused by iron meteoroids, which are most easily able to transit the atmosphere intact. Examples of craters caused by iron meteoroids include <a href="/wiki/Barringer_Meteor_Crater" class="mw-redirect" title="Barringer Meteor Crater">Barringer Meteor Crater</a>, <a href="/wiki/Odessa_Meteor_Crater" title="Odessa Meteor Crater">Odessa Meteor Crater</a>, <a href="/wiki/Wabar_craters" title="Wabar craters">Wabar craters</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Wolfe_Creek_crater" class="mw-redirect" title="Wolfe Creek crater">Wolfe Creek crater</a>; iron meteorites are found in association with all of these craters. In contrast, even relatively large stony or icy bodies such as small <a href="/wiki/Comet" title="Comet">comets</a> or <a href="/wiki/Asteroid" title="Asteroid">asteroids</a>, up to millions of tons, are disrupted in the atmosphere, and do not make impact craters.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Although such disruption events are uncommon, they can cause a considerable concussion to occur; the famed <a href="/wiki/Tunguska_event" title="Tunguska event">Tunguska event</a> probably resulted from such an incident. Very large stony objects, hundreds of meters in diameter or more, weighing tens of millions of <a href="/wiki/Ton" title="Ton">tons</a> or more, can reach the surface and cause large craters but are very rare. Such events are generally so energetic that the impactor is completely destroyed, leaving no meteorites. (The first example of a stony meteorite found in association with a large impact crater, the <a href="/wiki/Morokweng_impact_structure" title="Morokweng impact structure">Morokweng impact structure</a> in South Africa, was reported in May 2006.)<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Several phenomena are well documented during witnessed meteorite falls too small to produce hypervelocity craters.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The fireball that occurs as the meteoroid passes through the atmosphere can appear to be very bright, rivaling the sun in intensity, although most are far dimmer and may not even be noticed during the daytime. Various colors have been reported, including yellow, green, and red. Flashes and bursts of light can occur as the object breaks up. Explosions, detonations, and rumblings are often heard during meteorite falls, which can be caused by <a href="/wiki/Sonic_boom" title="Sonic boom">sonic booms</a> as well as <a href="/wiki/Shock_wave" title="Shock wave">shock waves</a> resulting from major fragmentation events. These sounds can be heard over wide areas, with a radius of a hundred or more kilometers. Whistling and hissing sounds are also sometimes heard but are poorly understood. Following the passage of the fireball, it is not unusual for a dust trail to linger in the atmosphere for several minutes. </p><p>As meteoroids are heated during <a href="/wiki/Atmospheric_entry" title="Atmospheric entry">atmospheric entry</a>, their surfaces melt and experience <a href="/wiki/Ablation" title="Ablation">ablation</a>. They can be sculpted into various shapes during this process, sometimes resulting in shallow thumbprint-like indentations on their surfaces called <a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/regmaglypt" class="extiw" title="wikt:regmaglypt">regmaglypts</a>. If the meteoroid maintains a fixed orientation for some time, without tumbling, it may develop a conical "nose cone" or "heat shield" shape. As it decelerates, eventually the molten <a href="/wiki/Surface_layer" title="Surface layer">surface layer</a> solidifies into a thin fusion crust, which on most meteorites is black (on some <a href="/wiki/Achondrite" title="Achondrite">achondrites</a>, the fusion crust may be very light-colored). On stony meteorites, the <a href="/wiki/Heat-affected_zone" title="Heat-affected zone">heat-affected zone</a> is at most a few mm deep; in iron meteorites, which are more thermally conductive, the structure of the metal may be affected by heat up to 1 centimetre (0.39 in) below the surface. Reports vary; some meteorites are reported to be "burning hot to the touch" upon landing, while others are alleged to have been cold enough to condense water and form a frost.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Meteoroids that disintegrate in the atmosphere may fall as meteorite showers, which can range from only a few up to thousands of separate individuals.

Most achondrites are also ancient rocks, and are thought to represent crustal material of differentiated planetesimals.

Two small groups of achondrites are special, as they are younger and do not appear to come from the asteroid belt.

Most iron meteorites are thought to come from the cores of planetesimals that were once molten. As with the Earth, the denser metal separated from silicate material and sank toward the center of the planetesimal, forming its core. After the planetesimal solidified, it broke up in a collision with another planetesimal. Due to the low abundance of iron meteorites in collection areas such as Antarctica, where most of the meteoric material that has fallen can be recovered, it is possible that the percentage of iron-meteorite falls is lower than 5%. This would be explained by a recovery bias; laypeople are more likely to notice and recover solid masses of metal than most other meteorite types. The abundance of iron meteorites relative to total Antarctic finds is 0.4%.<sup id="cite_ref-22" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-22"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>22<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-23" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-23"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>23<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Stony-iron_meteorite" title="Stony-iron meteorite">Stony-iron meteorites</a> constitute the remaining 1%.
