The Meteor Crater is found in which US State?

• A. Texas
• B. New Mexico
• C. Arizona
• D. Colorado

Answer: (C)

This question tests knowledge of where famous natural landmarks sit on the map. The Meteor Crater, also called Barringer Crater, is located in northern Arizona, near the town of Winslow and along the Painted Desert. It’s a well-known feature of the Arizona landscape, so Arizona is the correct state. The other states—Texas, New Mexico, and Colorado—don’t contain this crater, even though they have their own notable sites. Remembering its location in the Arizona desert helps you place it accurately.
