Jackbauer346 ::: Favorites i want to say this to everyone. something i learnt at school about earthquakes and tsunamis and stuff was dont run away from a tsunami because if you face a tsunami head on in a beach then it softens the blow and you have a chance to survive but if you run then it will hit you and you will be slammed all over the place 07-10-24 07:30:57 __________________________________________________

ImRickJamesBitch1 ::: Favorites Actually tsunamis are smaller and faster out at sea and as they reach shallower water they become larger and slower. Thats why they are so hard to detect. Out at sea a large tsunami is only a little bit bigger than a normal wave. 07-10-23 21:10:46 __________________________________________________
RollingRock24 ::: Favorites They say it could be caused from a volcanic eruption in the Canary Islands along with earthquakes and then a landslide. 07-10-17 02:49:02 __________________________________________________
RollingRock24 ::: Favorites It would be that tall at sea but by the time it traveled across the atlantic and reached shore it would be reduced in size but still very powerful. 07-10-17 02:41:12 __________________________________________________
RollingRock24 ::: Favorites What's scary is that scientists believe that one day there is going to be a mega tsunami that will be started from a island collapsing into the sea from a earthquake or volcano eruption, can't remember, but they said the wave will be over 3,000 feet tall. 07-10-17 02:31:57 __________________________________________________
RollingRock24 ::: Favorites It's sad, the people had a chance to get away but they didn't recognize what to look for in a tsunami. When the water drew back from the beach they should have immediately dragged their asses, people went down to the beach to see what was goin on. 07-10-17 02:28:49 __________________________________________________
RollingRock24 ::: Favorites The difference between this and a mega tsunami is that when you have one generated by a earth quake it's multiple waves pushing through shore one after the other. Somethin like a landslide will generate one big mega wave that could be anywhere from a few hundred feet tall to over a thousand feet tall. 07-10-17 02:27:57 __________________________________________________
