I am curious to know if it would be highly probable that if the Bennu asteroid were to hit the Earth in 2182, and the point of impact is within a 500 mile radius of Yellowstone National Park, will it most likely trigger a super volcano at Yellowstone?
If an impact were to occur, the expected kinetic energy associated with the collision would be 1,200 megatons in TNT equivalent (for comparison, TNT equivalent of Little Boy was approx 0.015 megaton)..."

I am thinking that such an impact would send massive shockwaves through the ground in all directions and that these shockwaves could cause huge cracks in the rock dome that covers the giant magma chamber at Yellowstone.
So, if the Bennu asteroid were to hit within a 500 mile radius of Yellowstone National Park, will it trigger a super volcano at Yellowstone?
