The Aftermath was Dire

Enormous tsunamis, hundreds of meters high, swept across coastlines, wiping out ecosystems. Wildfires, sparked by the impact's heat and fueled by debris, spread across large areas, intensifying the devastation. Meanwhile, a thick cloud of debris and vaporized rock filled the atmosphere, blocking sunlight for months or even years. This "impact winter" cast Earth into darkness, disrupting photosynthesis and causing global temperatures to drop sharply.
