Annotation
The probability of a primordial black hole (PBH) entering into the Kuijper asteroid belt in the Solar System is calculated. It is shown that primordial black holes of certain masses can significantly modify asteroid trajectories and orbits. Such events can result in local solar-system catastrophes and global terrestrial catastrophes (e.g., the Tunguska event). The rate of such events is estimated.
