If meteorites larger than 25
If meteorites larger than 25 meters but smaller than one kilometer (approximately 1/2 mile) were to hit Earth, they would likely cause local damage to the impact area, including cratering, extreme waves, explosions, fire, and shattered glass from the sonic boom upon entering the earth's atmosphere.
Meteorite specialist Denton Ebel, Curator in the Division of Physical Sciences, compares impacts from Earth’s recent history.

In the Asteroid Crash Course video series, Denton Ebel, curator in the Museum's Division of Physical Sciences, explains how asteroids formed and the varying degrees of destruction they cause when they fall to Earth.
