What happens when an asteroid hits the deep ocean? The public has been assailed with Hollywood’s interpretations such as the movie Deep Impact, but the reality is worryingly real. Approximately 2.5 million years ago, the only know deep-ocean asteroid struck the South Pacific. Initial waves were miles high. It resulted in the extinction of 36% of all life on Earth, including the megashark. The megalodon, or megashark, was big and fast. It preyed upon many cetacean species, such as dolphins and small whales. As a result of the asteroid impact, meter-thick bone beds of dead animals were washed up along Pacific shores, but perhaps even worse, climate changed.
