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.
There is no "impact asteroid". An asteroid impact however is when an asteroid hits a planet or moon.
Which asteroid? depending on its size, an asteroid impact could be devastating for life on Earth, though life would recover somehow eventually.
The fallen asteroid is often referred to as the Chicxulub impactor, named after the location of its impact on the Yucatán Peninsula in Mexico. This asteroid impact is believed to have contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs around 66 million years ago.
Earth is constantly monitored by astronomers who track the trajectory of asteroids approaching our planet. Additionally, there are systems in place, such as NASA's Planetary Defense Coordination Office, to assess any potential impact risks and develop mitigation strategies if necessary. The likelihood of a large asteroid impact is considered low due to these monitoring efforts and the vastness of space.
Well in the one in Arizona, they walk round it.
That would likely be a crater, caused by an impact from a meteorite, asteroid, or volcanic activity. Craters can vary in size and shape depending on the force of the impact.
Impact, as in hit, sure.
An asteroid

There was one significant asteroid impact in 1908 - the Tunguska event. It is possible that smaller asteroids hit Earth after that. There was a smaller asteroid/meteor impact more recently - the Chelyabinsk event in 2013.
it is a result of an asteroid impact
Asteroid impact craters are destroyed by weather, erosion, and earthquakes.

no.
It is more likely to pass right through than impact anything as most of the asteroid belt is empty space.
Depends entirely on the impacting speed and the size of the asteroid. Generally an asteroid impact is not going to bode well for life on Earth
