It is estimated that such an asteroid hits Earth about every 500,000 years. [207] < 1 million The Geological Society: Within the next 1 million years, Earth will likely have undergone a supervolcanic eruption large enough to erupt 3,200 km 3 of magma, an event comparable to the Toba supereruption 75,000 years ago.

In 2021, evidence for a probable impact 3.46 billion-years ago at Pilbara Craton has been found in the form of a 150 kilometres (93 mi) crater created by the impact of a 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) asteroid (named "The Apex Asteroid") into the sea at a depth of 2.5 kilometres (1.6 mi) (near the site of Marble Bar, Western Australia).
