Re: [Geology2] Eclectic Arcania Does Mega-Tsunamis

Allison,

The areas shown underwater were underwater due to the oceans being higher due to a warmer earth and less water locked up in ice as well as the continent in those areas being lower in some cases. The tsunami did not inundate those areas as they were already under the then-ocean. The mega-tsunami did propagate up onto land certainly.

That is amazing...half of Louisiana and definitely the Gulf Coast of Texas underwater and almost the whole of Florida. Very scary....in terms of what could happen. Allison

Check out the scale and progression of the mega-tsunami generated by the End Cretaceous Event 65 million years ago:
