Every single nuke in the world pointed at the same spot could not achieve anything even close to this.

This would require an asteroid/comet impact .. an order of magnitude, or two, or three, more destructive than the chicxulub impact that wiped out the dinosaurs.

The entire chicxulub impact crater is about the size of 'Mound Island'.

An impact this huge would probably shatter the crust of much of, if not the entire planet, and turn the entire atmosphere into fire.

this would actually be achieved by a team of 20 thousand oompa loompas with small shovels and 500 million tons of cocaine

No, but they could create a thin glass crust over the whole area that would accomplish much the same effect.

That circle is roughly about 2000 miles across (according to rough measurements in Google maps), which is only about 2x the size of the Gulf of Mexico.

But yeah, this would be a cataclysmic event.

I don't think there's anything that could make a crater like that on Earth. Like, an impact big enough to leave a crater that big would render the entire crust splashy enough to fill it back in.

Yeah... from what I remember of dicking around in universe sandbox and space engine a while back... yeah, an impact this massive would ... well, now it makes more sense to model earth as a multilayered, viscous liquid, basically.

You could end up with a ring system or possibly some minor moons, made out of ejecta.

After basically the entire Earth has turned into 'the floor is lava' for... decades? centuries?
