What happens when a meteorite is

Apophis meteorite, 370m in diameter, can fall into the Pacific Ocean by 2036, having 65,000 times the impact of Hiroshima's atomic bomb.

70% of the Earth's surface is covered with water, so when a meteor falls, it will surely create a big wave. To better visualize the scale, the research team from the Los Alamos Experimental Institute decided to model the simulator. They use supercomputers to measure the impact of a large rock moving at high speeds when plunging into the sea. The results are contrary to the image of the majority.

Specifically on the ocean, meteorite forces create large waves and they settle down quickly, not creating large pits that can swallow the whole city like the ground. So tsunamis are not a problem, but new steam is dangerous.

Accordingly, a strong impact on the ocean surface can bring water vapor into the stratosphere and can affect the climate. Indeed, simulations show that heat from meteorites due to friction with the atmosphere can evaporate millions of tons of water. When entering the troposphere, this steam gathers there and then extreme weather events, increasing the greenhouse effect leading to a change in global temperatures, leading to loss of water resources, coastline and boosting infectious diseases.

This experiment is only applicable to common asteroids in the Solar System. In general, at that size, they create large waves but are still less dangerous. The darkest scenario is that meteorites fall near the coast. While affecting the geology, creating tsunamis hundreds of meters, it will be a terrible disaster.
