- Mega-tsunami, what is the greatest possible height of a tsunami?
I think (though I'm hardly an expert) that the waves generated by a comet asteroid impact, or even the referenced Lituya Bay event, would not be the same as a tsunami They're more of a 'big splash' with actual displacement of massive amounts of water, while a tsunami is an energy wave that's barely perceptible in open water, and only grows on reaching the shallows
- Newest tsunami Questions - Earth Science Stack Exchange
A tsunami is a series of waves that occur right after the displacement of a large amount of water Use this tag for questions about tsunamis, why they happen, and how they occur
- Which months in Japan probability lowest of natural disaster?

- Why does the shoreline sometimes recede prior to a Tsunami?
My understanding of Tsunamis is they they form as a result of the seafloor abruptly changing, causing a local vertical displacement of water at the site of above the disruption, which initiates the wave How does this process ultimately result in the shoreline often receding prior to the Tsunami reaching the coast?
- measurements - How accurately can a tsunami be predicted? Have there . . .
6 With the current instruments in hand, how accurately can we predict tsunamis? Please consider me as a novice with only basic information how tsunamis are formed Has there ever been a successful evacuation in history in regards to incoming death waves?
- Why do Tsunamis travel slower than sound? - Earth Science Stack Exchange
Tsunamis, in the deep ocean, travel at around 800 kilometers per hour The speed of sound under water is about 5300 kilometers per hour Both of these waves are pressure waves, operating in the
- Highest land altitude a tsunami has ever reached (record)
Do you want historic records or geological evidence of ones in the distant past? Do you want classic tsunamis as triggered by undersea earthquakes, or will a splash like the Lituya Bay one count? Or the even bigger splashes of asteroid impacts like Chicxulub? Lots of info can be found with a simple Google search for "largest tsunami"
- How much time is there between an underwater earthquake and the moment . . .
4 Tsunamis can be caused by underwater earthquakes, like the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean The precise value will likely depend on where the earthquake is relative to the coast But what is the time range between the moment the earthquake is detected and the moment a tsunami hits the coast? Is it minutes? Hours?
