Ah, the lava and volcanism caused extinction were out in full force back then. The idea, that a large scale, energy intensive asteroid impact into a liquid body, may enhance vulcanism on the oppossing side of the earth, by virtue of a lava-shockwave tsunami from below was what came of it?
Imagine a spherical carrying medium, through which a circular shockwave races. At the other end, were it will crash into itself, it will create a overpressure spike, which directs force inwards and outwards. This spike would have come out were today the philipines and south east asia reside.
Back then there was mostly ocean.

So why was volcanism so off ?
The continued volcanism did prolong the hellscape making it the extinction event it was.
