usually an asteroid decintigrates before it hits the earth.
If an asteroid hit the Earth depending on its size, the smoke and debris of the impact would block out all sunlight to Earth. It would become unbearably cold and most life would die out. This is a theory of how the dinosaurs went extinct.this is right
After mass extinction events, there is a period of recovery and evolution where surviving species adapt to new environments and ecological niches. It can take millions of years for biodiversity to recover and for new species to evolve and fill in the vacant ecological roles left by extinct species. The surviving species may experience rapid diversification to exploit new opportunities in the changed environment.
An explosion of life, like the Cambrian explosion, as previously repressed species no longer have competition for resources.
