But what really makes tsunami is is the lava under the earthquake

I knew that because in a tsunami to move away from the wave deadly

What happens when wave trough hits the ground first?

Hi, I do not think that there is any possible way to convert the energy of Tsunamis for something else as it could be too dagerous. The reason how we can get energy from lightning is that we can control where it strikes and then save the power. In this case we can not controll Tsunamis at all, and even if we did, we would not be able to see the eneregy in the water and catch up to its speed.

Yes but this would determine how powerful and fast the waves hit the coastline, right? Constructive and Destructive Waves vary.

Texturizer Also, There are also waves called Mega Tsunamis, which are caused by a large displacement of land in water, especially La Palma, a Canary Island with a super volcano that can create a landslide, causing waves 1 km /0.625 mi. /3300 feet high at first but then shrinking to 100 m/ 0.0625 mi./ 330 feet,

lol! It happened here in Cebu, Philippines (it's impossible for us to get hit by tsunamis as we are surrounded by nearby islands). It was Feb 2012. People ran for the mountains when one motorcyclist was looking for her daughter after an earthquake, "Chonamae, Chonamae!" But he pronounced it as "tsonami! tsonami!", creating a panic among the people and leaving their vehicles on the streets to run to the mountains. HAHAHA (Disclaimer: It's just a legend. I don't know if it's true or not. But that's what people thought caused the panic.) 😂

No, the highest tsunami wave from 2011 is 20 meters but the tsunami run-up reach as high as 40 meters. Tsunami wave height is not the same as tsunami run-up height.

@@zeff8820 yes you are correct but most people don't know the correct terminology and simply refere to the run-up or on-shore height (40m in this case) when they say height not the Tsunami or off-shore height (20m). Edit: typos

@@nalialightning6730 this is one of the example that shows the true height of the tsunami wave 2011, it's clearly the highest one is above 10 meters but i don't think it reached more than 20 meters and most of tsunami wave height footages from 2011 are around 8-10 meters. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eb-Gl7yEqL6rY40.htmlm27s

Jebus fuck, really? Did they really need to explain that you should get out of the way if you can, that sometimes you can't? Do you have people explain to you how to wipe your ass, and that sometimes you run out of toilet paper?

apburner1 If i can run then i will and not going to wait for someone to tell me ... I was talking about the people who could not... in their case, that safest way is inapplicable... sure they didnt need someone to tell them to run because they know that, but they could not due to the circumstances.

***** I like the idea of converting disasters to a power source, but yeah! sadly - as you said - we only use the power to kill each other

+Flarus 500mph could definately power entire villages in third world countries.I say let's do it! And while we are at it, could someone please create a way to capture and harvest lightning. All of that wasted energy going into the ground, I need that energy as my light bill gets quite high in the Arizona Summer.

I think the point is that with early warning, thanks to detection and monitoring systems, it may be possible to evacuate an area before the tsunami hits. More than 1,500 people died last week in Sulawesi from a series of heavy earthquakes and a tsunami. The devastation has an aftermath of suffering due to loss of infrastructure, power, clean water, road access, food supplies, telecommunications, etc. Takes sometimes years to rebuild in developing countries.

Yup, kinda disappointed by how that misrepresented it in that way.

It's true, though massive waves like that are possible when the tsunami is caused by a landslide, look up the Lituya Bay tsunami.

It's also important to note that the sea wall surrounding Fukushima wasn't as tall as it was supposed to be. Other nuclear plants' walls managed to stop the water due to being taller.

This is so important!

The tsunami was not the reason for the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The earthquake ruined the power plant.

@@HusseinDoha The tsunami was actually the reason. Fukushima took a direct hit from the waves and the reactor was flooded.

Ayyy, I want to play Agat with you!

+Meep “the” Changeling It would depend on how big the tsunami is. If you go and watch some of the footage of the tsunami in Japan in 2011, or the Southeast Asian Boxing Day tsunami, there was just so much energy that that really wouldn't have stopped it. It would have just pushed right past, and any debris that hit it might have pulled the pillars down anyway. You're also going to be hard pressed to put enough pillars up to make any difference even for a small tsunami along the entire seaboards of tsunami prone areas. It's cheaper and probably much more effective to monitor conditions and give evacuation warnings when it's thought a tsunami might be approaching. The only places something like that could be useful, and only if you built them big enough and strong enough, would be at places like the Fukushima reactor where, even with people evacuated, the surge of water could cause catastrophic consequences. Even then, higher seawalls would be better suited and probably more effective than the pillars. Also maybe not building nuclear reactors around the ocean or on fault lines, lol.

that sucks i hope you got it all done

You've reiterated the video. Congrats.

as is pointed out in the video.

It did mention a rise in sea level. Watch the video again.

It actually did mention it, if you watch it over again...

And also unlike wind waves tsunami transfers also water so im confused.

Yeah, true.

+Addu Malah So it's not really the height of the wave itself, but the runup of where the water reaches, gotcha. I've also noticed in some tsunamis that there isn't really a wave at all, the water just suddenly surges inward with great force and doesn't stop

+Hydroxoid in alaska in 1956 there was a 1000 foot wave from a landslide

+Hydroxoid Tsunami waves, are not waves,in the common sence that is,. they are displacement of water, pushed forward and traveling at a great speed (800 km/h or more) the entire body of water is set in motion, either by large landslides above or underwater,a powerfull earthquake or volcanic eruption even icebergs can cause tsunamis or atomic blasts.tsunami waves are not tall cresting surfwaves as Hollywood has made us to believe, but instead they are 100s of mile long and several hundreds of mile wide waves, and they reach up from the bottom of the seafloor, up to the sealevel .When this amount of water is set in motion,notting can stop it ,exept natural barriers like tall mountains.When a tsunami wave hits the continental shelf, it slows down, and the water is forced upward and forward,draging the entire width and volume of water behind it.this causes the wave to steady but slowly rise upward and outward,and it looks like it kind of starts to roll on top of the ocean, but it wont crest over like a surfwave.As this rolling mass of water continues to get closer and closer to shore, the water builds and builds, and if the shoreline is shallow and reaches far out , it starts to suck/pull in the water from the bay or beach in a fast and steady pace. this can last for several minuttes .This helps the tsunami to gain even more volume and momentum, as all the water it takes out, will also be pushed back in, with all the rest of the volume it allready contain. From shore the tsunami wave now will look like a roaring white mess of water, but it wont look any diffrent to the untrained eyes than a turmoiled seawater or cresting waves hitting coral reefs and rocks and small mountains far out to sea,but there is one way to tell its different, is that there is this line of water in the horizon, that looks like its floating on top of the water, and that all the normal seawater has been pulled out.Then suddenly it starts to come back to shore ,first slowly , then faster and faster, and it starts to make a sound of a waterfall, then the entire body of water comes rushing up on land, with all its entire volume and power.And this will continue until the entire width of the wave has passed, then it will start to receed out, and the syckle repeat it self. over and over. In deeper water, it will act somewhat diffrently, and the tsunami will act more like a very fast moving abnormal tide, that just overflows everything in its way, shoree , beaches,piers,harbours, houses etc will suddenly be overfloved in seconds, there is no cresting wave here either, but in this case it just keeps on pushing and pushing on in like a strong flowing river or strong tidal stream. Tsunami waves are not meassured by wave height, but how far these things go inland and how much or high up the body of water rises up on land.And looking at a tsunami, you simply cant tell how big it is before its there.
