Researchers
have
identified
approximately
140
individual
impact
craters
on
Earth.
These
craters
probably
represent
only
about
25
percent
of
those
to
be
found.
Assuming
an
equal
rate
of
impact
around
the
globe,
many
more
craters
remain
to
be
discovered,
particularly
in
remote
land
regions
of
our
planet
and
in
the
oceans.
This
