      I think humans give mother nature a run for her money. We have littered in the mariana trench. Additionally we are on the way to cluttering up outer frikin space with space junk to the point we may not be able to continue space travel without colliding with something. I haven't even mentioned the land destruction. Plastic compounds are now in human dna, We are the most invasive species ever.

      津波の高さは比較的低いのですが、波長と周期が長い傾向にあります。しかし、浅くなればなるほど波の速さは遅くなります。よって、波の前方、浅い方の海水が遅くなり、後方の波の海水によって押される形ができてしまい、結果的にそこから盛り上がってしまうため、津波の波の高さが高くなってしまう構図になってしまいます。高潮などとはエネルギーが全然違います。

    I studied this one a lot at the time try to figure out how to build structures to survive these in ports guiding the flow to headwalls where it stops to stand high for hours.
    In the Pacific Northwest we have a plate release tsunami "any time", adding sealevel fast not a good move, plates are plastic it adds weight to continental shelves.
    The pier ends create a fake headwall, a dynamic dam that limits flow volume up front, averages out the maximum height up channels, infrastructure on top.
    This bay next to the city, a bridge lower down to fish boats was knocked off, the equalization back flow churn epic ...

    The height stats for tsunamis are not measured by a single wave or the actual height of a wave. It is measured by how far the surge gets above sea level. People keep saying the Japanese tsunami wave was over 200 feet. There was never a wave that high. The largest actual wave face was only 25 feet. The surge rose to over 200 feet. Big difference.

    When you record a video and then watch it later it lacks the ability to show the true scale. If the video is this impressive I can't fathom the real thing. Excellent footage. Nothing I've watched so far
    tops it

    We’re there people floating as the water was going out. God bless them. What a nightmare.

    Wow, the wave was so monstrous, you didn't see it until it swallowed the land whole in 5 seconds. 😳

    @1:18 It looks like there's a large upwelling. I wonder if that deeper water ascending up from the bottom of the harbor.

    Earthquake video compilations and crying for bread are two channels with good footage of this terrible day. Top topics are good too, They give you lots of information and it’s up to date rather than one or two years old, it’s not just videos, there’s presenters with scientific evidence to go with what you’re seeing.

    So beautiful, so deadly... I gather those people below were NOT safe/ out of harm's way? I am so sorry... I am glad that you & the others went higher and were safe. BTW, I have been so impressed with how you all handled this terrible event. ❤ All best wishes!

    De todos los videos del tsunami de Japón,este es uno de los mas aterradores. No se si las personas que se ven al comienzo habrán podido escapar y salvar sus vidas.
