Which is the best place in the world to find meteorites?

Answer 1

Greece.

Answer 2

Antarctica( majority :21000 known meteorites) , Alaska , Himalayas mountains, Hot Deserts-because here they can survive for long periods of time and they can accumulate. The meteorites with the oldest terrestrial residence are from the Antarctic and fell on the Earth 2.5 million years ago, also in Sweden they found fossil meteorites in Limestone that are 480m years old, puzzling is that is that so many meteorites fell in a 6000 square meter's of this quarry in Sweden.!!! The easiest meteorites to find are iron meteorites , they are chunks of iron that are black in colour, you also get stone-like meteorites but they are harder to find , you will need a metal detector. The main reason for studing meteorites is to determine the history and origin of the parent bodies.!!! About 40000 meteorites have been collected from all over the world, 86 percent of meteorites are chondrites and are named from the small round particles found in them that contain silicate minerals, 8 percent are achondrites, 5 percent are iron meteorites and 1 percent are stone-like meteorites. Latfor i hope this helped.!!!

Answer 3

In theory you can find Meteorites everywhere but the best place is for sure Antarctica because not only are you more likely to find them but they are also less likely to be destroyed by the elements and weather that would more easily effect them everywhere else.

You don't have to go there yourself as scientists in the area will have brought most back now and will have put them in Museums. Otherwise, check out private collectors and private auctions. A warning though: prices can be stupidly expensive and you should always check it's authentic BEFORE you make any actual purchase.

Answer 4

As they may have fallen many thousands of years ago and become overgrown with vegetation. The best places are deserts where there is little or no vegetation. There are more meteor falls in the Southern Hemisphere ( south is the direction into the centre of our galaxy). So the best place is probably Australia and indeed many meteorites are found there.

Answer 5

Although meteors fall all over the world, they usually just sink to the bottom of an ocean, are buried by shifting terrain, or are easily confused with terrestrial rocks.
At the bottom of the Earth, however, in East Antarctica, huge sheets of blue ice remain pure and barren. When traversing such a sheet, a dark rock will stick out. These rocks have a high probability of being true meteorites -- likely pieces of another world.

Answer 6

Hello there...I know that exist one special place named zone of silence in the north of Mexico where is a big magnetic field located at 128 km from the city of Gomez Palacios Durango state closer to the town of Ceballos here is an strange place of earth semidesertic and with strange animals and continuously the meteoroids falling down around the area NASA have very big interest in the area. If you cant find many of these meteoroids you can enjoy the sky very interesting and many wild animals :-)

Answer 7

I don't know where the most meteorites are, but I have been to see the world's biggest meteorite at Hoba Farm in the north of Namibia.

Answer 8

Antarctica!

The reason for this is very simple. Strange looking extraterrestrial specimens stick out against the white backdrop of the antarctic permafrost. In other parts of the world, meteorites simply blend into the terrestrial landscape and are difficult to spot for the untrained eye.

Answer 9

Depends on what you mean by best.

Antarctica is pretty unexplored and they're easier to see. But it's very hard to get there, and even harder to live and search there. And it's all a kind of an International park, so it would be illegal for a private citizen to go there to pick up asteroids for themselves. Only scientific expeditions are allowed.

Similarly the ocean floor is unexplored, but a pretty impossible idea.

South America may be the "best" place, in terms of number to be found and practical ways of doing it. Possibly Austrailia.

The easiest would be a store on the Internet.

Answer 10

Meteorites are objects falling from space, in solar system. They can fall anywhere in the world. When it falls. it is generally, is a media event. When they report, you go to that place, to see it. If you need to see it immediately, you can go to any Government Museum, they would generally exhibit them.
