What if a Tunguska-level meteor impacted the middle of the Pacific? Imagine that tsunami.

[@koharaisevo3666]

It explode in the air so it won't creat a tsunami. Even if it hit the water it's too small too cause large tsunami.

[@jauho7483]

Nothing would happen. Humans have tested bombs as big as 50 megatons. Tunguska was 12Mt. This video contains bs. You can simulate effects of 12Mt bombs in website called Nukemap

[@swattofficer6624]

@@jauho7483 There’s a difference between a 12MT bomb and an air burst explosion of a meteor. They’ve used the size of the damage of the Tunguska event for the New York model, they weren’t just postulating. That’s the size of the area it damaged. A bomb focused the energy in a smaller area, leading to higher damage in a smaller area.

The danger if this theoretical event occurred over the "wrong" city or nation, it could very likely cause an accidental nuclear war.

[@Omnimalevolent1]

Around a decade ago I actually saw a meteor burn up in the atmosphere. It was in the western United States, but happened in the middle of the night. I never felt a shockwave, but the brightness was incredible. For a few seconds, everything was lit up as if it was daytime with an eerie blue light. As it happened, I was convinced that total annihilation was on hand, but then it disappeared like a whisper beyond distant mountains. I would have doubted my experience, but there was someone else with me; the next day I asked around to see who had seen it. Only a handful of people had been outside at that time of the night; and so, hardly any notice was given.

It is amazing how the rotation of the earth happened to allow the Tunguska Event to hit in the middle of nowhere. I know odds were it would not have hit a big city due to the way the earth was populated at the time. But still. Reminds me of the poem “The Convergence of the Twain,” about the Titanic and the iceberg.

Big Ones are actually the easiest to track and have the greatest warning time. Small ones burn up before they reach the ground.

You'd have massive tsunamis if it hit NYC too. The harbor, the river, long island sound, you'd have massive coastal damage carried along by the waves, and probably a lot of damage on the other side of the atlantic as a consequence

[@tornado1050]

Not sure about damage on the other side of the Atlantic, you have to remember that the Atlantic is the 2nd largest ocean and the energy would dissipate over a large area so the large waves wouldn't hit Europe.

[@mahatmarandy5977]

He's talking about an impact roughly equivalent to the one that killed the dinosaurs, which is stimated at about a 12 on the richter scale. Absolutely you'd get tsunamis

[@tornado1050]

@@mahatmarandy5977 Incorrect, Galen Gisler, a specialist in the field said:"An asteroid impact is a point source and it only affects the immediate region around the impact point and moreover, to create a tsunami, you need something that disturbs the entire water column." He also has pointed out that asteroids don't make great tsunamis especially if they are below 300 meters which tunguska is.

@@MrS1001 Theia is a hypothesized ancient planet in the early Solar System that, according to the giant-impact hypothesis, collided with the early Earth around 4.5 billion years ago, with some of the resulting ejected debris gathering to form the Moon.[1][2] In addition to explaining Earth's large satellite, the Theia hypothesis can also explain why Earth's core is larger than would be expected for a body its size; Theia's core and mantle mixed with Earth's core and mantle.[3] According to one version of the hypothesis, Theia was an Earth trojan about the size of Mars, with a diameter of about 6,102 km (3,792 miles). Additional evidence published in 2019 suggests that Theia might have formed in the outer Solar System rather than the inner Solar System, and that much of Earth's water originated on Theia.[4]
