The meteorite1 was 15 kilometres across, enough to cause utter devastation2 across the whole planet. It exploded with a force of 100 million million tones of TNT. The blast sent a giant plume3 of vaporized rock out into space. A crater4 was punched 30 kilometres into the Earth’s crust. It was above this rim5 of weakened rock that these cenotes formed millions of years later. The blast would have been ferocious6. But it was what happened next that made the impact a global catastrophe7.
