Giant meteor impact may have triggered massive Grand Canyon landslide 56,000 years ago Researchers have found a link between two geological events in iconic locations of the U.S. Southwest that scientists previously didn't think had anything to do with each other.

UNM researchers link a major landslide in the Grand Canyon 56,000 years ago to the Meteor Crater impact. Shockwaves likely triggered cliff collapse, damming the river and creating a temporary paleolake.

Aerial view of the Barringer Meteorite Crater in Arizona, a 1-mile-wide impact crater formed approximately 50,000 years ago by a nickel-iron meteor. The image is a color stereo anaglyph; view with red/blue glasses for a 3D effect showing the crater's depth. This crater is one of the best-preserved impact craters on Earth, offering a window into planetary impact events.
