Massive Impact Crater: The impact would create a crater approximately 1,000-1,500 kilometers (620-930 miles) in diameter and 2-3 kilometers (1.2-1.9 miles) deep. 2. Global Earthquakes and Tsunamis: The impact would generate massive earthquakes and tsunamis, affecting the entire planet. 3. Global Firestorms: The heat generated by the impact could start global firestorms, burning vast areas of land. 4. Global Cooling: The impact could throw massive amounts of debris into the atmosphere, bloc
