Can anyone tell me if there is evidence of plate movement disruption, or increase of movement calulcations due to the asteroid impact just north of the Yucatan Penninsula.

It seems that such an impact would potential alter the stresses that are transmitted due to the fracture of the impact basin.

If anyone knows, please email me.

thanks
Stephanie R
