In the real tsunami videos, it doesn’t look like a huge wall of water cresting over. Instead, it looks like river rapids that just keep pushing inland.

[@Thenotfunnyperson]

I agree, this is a common misconception. The depiction is 100% incorrect.

[@Damonh234]

The "walls of water" are usually from megatsunamis - waves from sudden impacts. That would be asteroids, landslides, etc. Lituya Bay (2nd from last) would have looked like a wall of water.

The last tsunami wave in the animation video is the height of the tsunami generated by the massive Chicxulub asteroid if it had hit deep waters. According to researchers, the Chicxulub asteroid that struck the Yucatan Peninsula at the Gulf of Mexico caused a tsunami that is at least a mile high and the height was limited by relatively shallow waters in the area. If the asteroid had impacted the deep ocean, the tsunami's height would be even greater at 4.6 kilometres (2.9 miles) tall, as seen in the animation.

[@inoue6]

Yes! The real one was probably around 1.5 km and the crated left behind the comet left a hole that the water rushed into, creating more waves but also reducing the amount of volume of water moved

[@condorboss3339]

[@knightu1642]

Earthquake driven tsunamis are much shorter such as the Japanese and Indonesian ones. The tallest ones are Walls of water because Lituya Bay, for example, occurred when a large section of a mountain crashed down into the bay and created the tsunami wall at over 500 meters (1700+feet) tall. That was witnessed with survivors on a boat and the trees on the side of the mountain at that height were uprooted.

[@Alan_Page]

The normal tsunamis are from water being displaced by earthquakes shifting the sea bed. The ones that get ridiculously high, like the ones in the Lituya Bay, Vajont Dam, and Spirit Lake happen when big things fall into the water and displace it, like a landslide on the shore. A fun fact is this latter type of event could happen just off the west coast of Africa (e.g the Canary Islands) and the tsunami would be so powerful it would make it all the way across the entire Atlantic Ocean and still hit the east coast of the US as a tsunami, although by that time not a massive one.

[@m0vnt41n5]

That confuses the hell out of me. How that tsunami at Lituya Bay was able to become 1,800 feet high due to a relatively small landslide going to a relatively small region of water, but tsunamis triggered by big-ass tectonic plates flicking upwards like a Tech Deck finger skateboard underneath an approximate 140M square miles of ocean to use to deliever a killer tsunami usually end up not being *_nearly_* that big.

[@TrojanIsLive]

@@m0vnt41n5 probably the difference in the mass of the water being moved/displaced

[@ooglefluffg857]

Because a small, contained body of water is easier to fling into the air and has less area to disperse. They can reach great heights but only over a small area. It's like throwing a glass of water into the air vs trying to lift an entire swimming pool.

[@schultz6622]

@@m0vnt41n5 it really wasnt that high, it basically just went the side of a mountain and it reached 500m. the wave itself was never even close to 500m. i found a good simulation showing what happened it makes sense: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eGLEqaVrjqyFrbM

Worth noting that these are the highest points of these tsunamis, including the run up height. The actual wave is much smaller in 99% of the affect areas, and it often does not come as a single wave but rather a gradual flood. Also all except one of the largest tsunamis were triggered by landslides and localized to a very small region.

What we all have to understand is that tsunamis like the tsunami of japan in 2011 is more devastating than the alaska one because it had around 100 km of water behind it, i mean, imagine a wave but it ends 100 km behind. Although it just had 1 meter and in some places it reached 10 meters, the amount of water was infernal, instead in the alaska one of 524 meters, it looked more like a giant wave than a tsunami like japan.

[@massimolupato1654]

I Remember the 1963 tsunami of Vajont , North East Italy , as i live not far from there. It happened during the night , a singular 250 MT High wave . At least thousands of people died.

[@pocketmarcy6990]

The saddest part was that it was caused by human error, and not any natural force of nature

[@karlsimonian1424]

That was a really fun video!

[@smilethenuke7895]

Dang imagine sharks are in the tsunami

[@spacial1857]

The tsunamis is actually really high , but it's happened on the core of the wave start, sometimes when it goes to land, it's becoming smaller and smaller

[@michaelccozens]

Actually frequently the opposite. You can see footage of ships at sea encountering the 2011 tsunami wave as it races towards Japan; it's just a few feet above the surrounding sea-level, though it stretches from horizon to horizon. It's when the wave approaches land that the shallower ocean floor begins to "push" it farther up above the normal height of the water. I'm not an expert, but that's my understanding of the phenomenon. Now, if you meant that the tsunami wave loses energy the farther it travels from the point of origin, that's true, but functionally, that's not really how most people would experience the wave.

Chile: Am I a joke to you?

[@anthonytang4327]

Jesus christ, never knew the dinosaur extinction tsunami was that tall 😳

[@DuckHunterGaming]

It wasn't the water it hit was quite shallow. I think the last one was if it hit In the middle of the ocean which it didn't.

[@SHYXN800]

how can the wave be so slim and narrow??? these videos just don't make sense.

[@brakingbike5693]

Hey, I’m terrified now, thanks :)

[@MRVI-qp6on]

imagine a 500 meters wave comes to new york today.

[@shinycats8476]

Yeah, that last one would ruin your day

[@MrNetoo]

3:02 man, this is too colossal for my mind to process... I don't know it's like it was so big it wouldn't be possible. for ex: a where from this height it, in a way, would not fall apart by not bear its own weight?

[@marchellochiovelli7259]

Love the happy two step drowning music.

[@danniellerush2980]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME

[@whatthe9256]

Measurements are off specially at 2:50. its shows 524M tsunami is higher than the 541M building

[@ubme21]

The asteroid linked the the extinction of the dinosaurs:get away I’m not splashing 2 year olds

"Note: location of the Statue of Liberty is approximated" The Statue of Liberty's location is completely wrong.

[@dlmcc0202]

imagine being a T-rex , you’re sitting around eating, sleeping and getting laid day in and day out. Life isn’t so bad. Then one day a giant asteroid lands and next thing you know a terrifying wall of water like that comes at u at a few hundred MPH. Insane

[@f1st3r16]

The music Bro 🥶🥶🥶 you comparing Tsunamis or the wild west

[@datastorm75]

I like how it takes a freaking rock from space to top the Pacific Ring of Fire.

[@phapnui]

Nicely put.

[@Indrid__Cold]

Some of the japan tsunami waves of 2011 were walls of water (check out Noda). It depends on the undersea topology.

[@michaelccozens]

1741 W Hokkaido Island wave appears to have an error in the height label. According to some quick research, the label should probably read "90 M", not "55 M".

[@mutantmanus1199]

cool, the statue of liberty sure is indestructible

[@afrazamjad1303]

It's literally 4.20AM and I'm watching this

[@rodrigor.5798]

Any large 10km comet or asteroid doesn't even touch shallow waters like the waters off the coast of Mexico 65 million years ago, the region is dried to the seafloor, over a large area, proportionately much more intense than a shot of rifle in a puddle of water (the puddle does not evaporate), the immense pressure and the air in a plasma state drive away the distant waters and evaporate those below immediately, so it was like a shock on the continent. And that was bad for the dinosaurs, it would be better to face tsunamis thousands of kilometers high, but the sky wasn't blocked from light. Impacts on deep waters generate greater tsunamis, but damage to the atmosphere would be less, and the planet's darkening was more decisive in the extinction.

1958 Lituya Bay tsunami: I'm inevitable *KT Extinction tsunamis: no u.* Edit: KT Extinction means: Cretaceous Tertiary extinction

[@xaraxen]

Imagine a surfer riding the last one

[@ImuaOnesTopFan]

It wouldn't be a surfer. *It would be Florida man*

[@CheapSquierBassPlayer]

But why hasn't a single tsunami ever been that high in any film or video?

[@vlorenzo2106]

Death by tsunamis sounds fun with that music!
