The crater of doom. A view of the immense crater after sunlight had returned to the Earth. The impactor struck, and the crater was formed, on the north coast of what today is the Yucatan Peninsula. (Painting by William K. Hartmann)

THE TSUNAMI

A huge tsunami was created by the impactor. Possibly several kilometers high, the tsunami would have destroyed all of the coastlines near ground zero, engulfing dinosaurs living in these areas. (Paintings by Don Davis, left, and Ron Miller, below)
