Indeed and also imagine what it would look like if a big bolide struck a shallow sea:
Imagine a 120 mile wide crater torn open in the bottom of a shallow sea.
Where does the sea water go?
It tries to fill the hole.
The bottom of the hole is orange yellow to white hot.
What does sea water do when you pour it onto a 2000°F pool of molten rock? It boils and expands 1740 times in volume.
Where does this extra suddenly created volume go? It’s on a rock floor, it can’t go down. It is surrounded by a ring of crater wall and a high wall of in-pouring seawater, it can’t go sideways.
The crater makes what is in effect a rocket nozzle. The only path is up. Up into space.
It could take, say, forty days and forty nights before the fraction of the vast amount of water blasted into space that was going to make a return trip stopped settling back to earth.
Imagine what an evening sky would look like with trillions of gallons of frozen droplets of ice in a orbital cloud with raw sunlight shining on it.
I’d say a vast horizon-to-horizon ground to zenith daylight bright rainbow...
