Formation of Tsunami (3D Simulation)

This simulation shows the formation of tsunami waves and their characteristics as they approach land.

How did u know that was my favorite background song

[Evzen.]

Land: *exists*
Tsunami: *it’s free real estate*

Awesome thank you, I actually think it was perfect without the music, especially​ for children asking questions.

[Callawaygolfer]

Props to the camera man for getting this shot and risking there life

[bloodbrothersgaming]

Awesome vid but next time put some audio, I thought my headphones were broken.

[anon-]

Thank you, i never really understood how tsunamis happened because school's on picture study never got to me, but this is great. I shall know for ever.

[IR]

It scares me when there is no audio I feel like somethings going to pop up at the end of the video

[ellieffrisby]

when i’m older, i want to study tsunamis and this just helps so much thanku

[koreyroberts]

What about the pulling back of the water before if shoots off in the opposite direction?

[tracybourke]

That was basically a simulation of a mega tsunami.

Nice simulation, it helped a lot with my presentation.

[bakermary]

Thanks! This really helped me to understand and I finished my presentation :)

What if the Earth were completely covered with water? Would the tsunami travel forever?

[ThorKipperberg]

its not always like that, sometimes you have an quake and just a few min later you have water above your knees, it depends on strengt of the quake and how far and direction the waves has from land before created. The farther from land the wave tends to be longer and wider and sometimes much more dangerous, as they dont look as much before it floods in. take look at the 2004 tsunami or japan tsunami they dosnt look bad at all at first, but they are long and wide and keeps pushing in

[ThorKipperberg]

the reason for that speed is an estimate of time they get from one wave to travel from one meassure point, to another.Usually they have bouyus in the pacific, that tells the scientists from the time the quake hit, to the waves is formed and is traveling in the oceanwater. in open water they move usually very fast. but as wider from the shockpoint the longer intervall of wave you have.sometimes they can take hours or days to hit land, other times just minutes

[Sandro_-jowh]

The simulation should have showed the wave breaking at the end

[egotripp-gnbt]

This is equivalent to me watching a horror movie. Yes.

[HunterAtDawn]

As it nears the shore it doesn't really resemble a real tsunami. It's more like a Hollywood version of a tsunami. Footage of the Asian tsunsmi shows that when it approaches land it becomes a choppy foamy mess, not a perfect wave

Thanks
Here studying social studies XD

[redsheephaternation]

I knew that you were gonna thank me for watching, but I don't mind.
