After an asteroid impact, Earth's systems can interact in complex ways. The collision can release vast amounts of energy, generating heat and shockwaves that affect the atmosphere and geosphere, potentially triggering volcanic eruptions or earthquakes. The debris thrown into the atmosphere can block sunlight, leading to a temporary drop in temperatures, disrupting climate patterns and affecting ecosystems. Furthermore, the resultant changes in land and water can impact the biosphere, leading to shifts in species populations and food webs.
