Editing Hypocenter (section)

==Meteor air bursts==
The hypocenter of a [[meteor air burst]], an [[asteroid]] or [[comet]] that explodes in the atmosphere rather than strike the surface, is the closest point on the surface to the explosion. The [[Tunguska event]] occurred in [[Siberia]] in 1908 and flattened an estimated 80 million trees over an area of {{convert|2150|km2||abbr=on}} of forest. The trees at the hypocenter of the blast were left standing, but all their limbs had been blown off by the shockwave. The 2013 [[Chelyabinsk meteor]]'s hypocenter in [[Russia]] was more populated than that of Tunguska, resulting in civil damage and injury, mostly from flying glass shards from broken windows.<ref>{{Cite web |date=16 February 2013 |title=Пострадавшую при падении метеорита перевезут из Челябинска в Москву |url=https://ria.ru/20130216/923200576.html |url-status=live |website=RIA |access-date=15 February 2023 |archive-date=15 February 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230215220924/https://ria.ru/20130216/923200576.html |language=ru }}</ref>
