Aftermath of Chicxulub impact if the dinosaur-killer asteroid strike happened today. See video description for sources of data/latest articles.

If you skim forward, be sure to check the end where it speeds up to cover longterm effects.
Ejecta means "stuff tossed out," both from the impactor and the ground.
There's a lag before the tsunamis start. I'm guessing that's because the ocean has to fill the hole in it caused by water simply vaporizing, then the 180 km wide, 20-km deep crater in the Earth's crust, before it can rebound.
The "thermal impact" chart has a heat scale on the left and a luminosity scale on the right, "radiant flux," measuring how many times brighter it is than the Sun.
See below for a key to the the earthquake intensity scale they're using, which you may have seen on "Did you feel it?" shakemaps produced by the USGS.
This simulation suggests the earthquake subsides after about half an hour (YIKES), but recent studies hint the Earth may have quivered for days, even months.
The video's caption says the earthquakes are color-coded using the MSK earthquake intensity scale, common in Europe, Russia, and the Middle East. But when I checked the links in the video description, it turned out the software they're using simulates the Modified Mercalli intensity used in the Americas.
It doesn't really matter. As you can see from the two charts below, they're basically the same.

the kevjean dynamic is morally right and good bc you really truly can stick your fingers in them and do sooo much yknow. sometimes i want to write them mourning each other sometimes i want a tense reconciliation sometimes i want to visit their past where they’re tragic or their future where theyre boring and old and codependent (or never speak). they’re pretty little dolls :3
here's the thing about kevjean that people don't often look into when the general consensus for them is so bleak: they are not tragic. yes, they've had a pretty rough time both individually and as a pair, and yes, there is so much baggage between them that it might feel as if a future together in any capacity is unachievable and improbable. but what attracts me to them as a pair, what makes them the prettiest little dolls to smush together and kiss, is the fact that they were able to find friendship and camaraderie in a place that actively denied them both the grace, the humanity really, of finding connection with other people.
i disagree when people say jean's friendship with kevin was a measure of survival first and foremost. i think getting close to kevin was the opposite of a survival tactic: it was directly harmful. they were putting a lot in danger by being as close as they were, by using a language forbidden and beloathed by riko, by breaking the status quo. the fact of their friendship in the first place was dangerous. but that's the point, isn't it? it wasn't about that. kevin and jean created a relationship in a place that desperately wanted to keep them apart and as competitors, and that could never be tragic. it's the opposite. it's proof of both their humanities; it's a humbling reminder; it's the tried and true idea that we want to be kind to each other when it matters. i'm not really sure yet where i want to go with this, but it feels like this is something that should be more prevalent in kevjean content: when it mattered, they were kind to each other. they were the best of each other's days. how could that be tragic?
tl;dr: the sheer fact of kevjean's relationship is a crack of light between two eternities of darkness. that it happened at all in the most unlikely of places with the most unlikely of circumstances is some kind of star-crossed miracle. they will never experience love like this again
