How terrible is the water wall at sea?

The water wall is a huge wave produced by the tsunami. Tsunami is a powerful destructive wave caused by storm or submarine earthquake, accompanied by huge noise.

1896 June 15 In the evening, it was breezy and sunny. In the coastal villages and towns of Sanlu, Honshu Island, Japan, people are gathering in the square, singing and dancing to celebrate a local festival.

Suddenly, the earth made a "rumble" sound and trembled violently, as if an armored vehicle passed by them. People know that this is the place where the earthquake happened in the distance and spread to here. However, because the vibration was not too big and did not attract people's attention, everyone still sang and danced.

Unexpectedly, after 20 minutes, a strange phenomenon happened. I saw the sea water retreating rapidly, and many underwater reefs that I had never seen before emerged from the water. Then, there was a bang on the sea, from far and near, like a group of Ma Benteng people.

Suddenly, a 30-meter-high water wall appeared on the sea, screaming and rushing to the people on the shore. People were dumbfounded, looked at each other and were at a loss.

"Run, the water wall is coming!" I don't know who shouted, but people woke up like a dream, turned their heads in panic and ran like hell.

However, how can people run across the water wall with two legs? In an instant, the high water wall came over with the trend of Taishan coping, and soon swallowed everything on the shore.

The next day, the fishermen who went out to sea returned to the village and saw bodies, furniture and clothes floating on the sea. They were worried and had a premonition that something was wrong. Later, as expected, someone recognized their loved ones and couldn't help crying.

This is a tsunami caused by the earthquake in Chile. It crossed the Pacific Ocean at a speed of 800 kilometers per hour and came to these places.

1883, a volcano erupted near Java Island, causing waves as high as 30 meters, and more than 30,000 people were involved in the sea by the waves.

According to Hideo Matsumoto, an associate professor at Akita University in Japan, the Indian Ocean tsunami pushed a 50-ton ship from the seaside to the shore1200m away. According to relevant data, the tsunami is as high as two meters, and wooden houses will be destroyed instantly. The tsunami is more than 20 meters high, and reinforced concrete buildings are also difficult to cope with.

This shows how terrible the water wall at sea is! We should forecast the tsunami in advance to minimize the losses caused by the tsunami.
