Ascientist finds a piece of rock in a crater. he analyzes the rock and realizes that the composition is mostly of iron and nickel. he claims that he found a meteor. what is most likely the scientist’s error?

he actually found a meteorite.
his analysis of the composition is not correct.
he incorrectly used the term “crater.”
he actually found a meteoroid.

He actually found a meteorite.

Explanation:

A meteoroid is the debris of the asteroid or comet or planet formation found in space which enters the atmosphere of a planet.

The streak of light seen in atmosphere when the meteoroid burns up on its way through the atmosphere is known as meteor.

The meteoroid which lands up on the surface of the planet is known as meteorite.

Hence, when a scientist found a piece of rock in a crater, he actually found a meteorite not a meteor.
