Nuuanu (Hawaii) Mega Tsunami.mov
Ғылым және технология
1.5 Million Years ago, a 5000 cubic km piece of NE Oahu Hawaii fell into the sea. This computer simulation models a similar event on today's topography. A mega tsunami over 500 meters tall is produced. Run ups on North America exceed 100 m.

But the cracks are starting to link up. A like, 90 foot chunk already broke off earlier this month. I'm curious but SERIOUSLY not curious what it's going to do next... This is an apocalypse sized wave and it's completely feasible for it to happen while all of this activity is going on :(
@ladykiri42

Kevin Burns - Where exactly did this 90 foot chunk fall off from? If you watch this, it ignores that there have been NO active volcanoes on Oahu in recorded history. It doesn't pinpoint this as beginning on the Big Island, but on Oahu, of all islands!!
As terrifying as it is to contemplate meeting the face of one of these tsunamis, it's even more horrifying to imagine being on the island side, considering that the troughs following the departing waves appear to reach, in the beginning anyway, to the bottom of the ocean.
If anyone is curious, 2*10^20 Joules is equivalent to about 48,000 Megatons of TNT. That’s like setting off 1,000 Tsar Bombas (the 50-Megaton thermonuclear bomb which set the record for largest man-made explosion ever) all at the same time. It’s a lot of energy. So even if “only” 10% of it went into forming the waves, that’s still nearly 4,800 Megatons of TNT or 4.8 trillion pounds of explosives set off at once.
@Digi20
Жыл бұрын
We have to add here, that is is not all at once (less than a millisecond in case of a thermonuclear explosion) but stretches over tens of seconds to minutes, and is not concentrated on one point but across several kilometers. But still, it is an impressive amount of energy released "just" from some rocks sliding. i would love to see a high quality 3d animation of such an event with the point of view a person has standing on the tip of the mountain just behind the place where the slide occurs. it must be an overwhelming spectacle.

The decimation is expected to go on for months as the continents are inundated by huge tsunami waves while thousands of volcanoes explode - thousands of cities will be buried by the ash as sea levels rise - few survivors are expected.

About 20 fissures heading pretty much in a straight line for the west to the sea. I live on the east coast of USA in what is called The Low Country. What would computer sim. show for La Palma slide ?

Anyone who ever made sand castles as a child know what happens when you make the sides of your sandcastle too high. They slide off. But they make a wider base that supports the next piles of sand you put on top of it. The only thing is the Hawaiian islands are on such a larger scale in 16,000 feet of water.
Great video. I'm surprised ingomar200 didn't mention the Koolau Mountains. I may be wrong, but I think the Koolau Mountains are the western remains of a huge volcano on Oahu. Maybe the slide was so large, it took out 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock. This doesn't contradict the middle phase. The weight of half of this huge volcano probably contributed to the slide. I think the Koolau Mountains are just stunning in the clouds when it rains. Finally, ingomar 200's last line is rather strange. I'd rather have no tsunami than one later. The destruction will be mind boggling. Even Eastern Asia will get its share. Every coastline around the Pacific will be wiped out. But I guess it will someday happen, just like the slide in the Canary Islands will take out the entire coastline of the Atlantic.
@callmeishmael3031

When you look out from the Pali lookout, you're looking out at the remains of the Koolau volcano caldera after the slide. The steep cliffs on that side are the heavily eroded western sides of the caldera and Kaneohe Bay is the caldera bottom, so yes, half of the volcano slid off into the ocean. This is different from the steep cliffs of Molokai which are where the great crack was when the northern side of that island slid off. High, steep ocean-front cliffs in the islands like that are usually indication of the location of a major slide. Kalaupapa on Molokai is the product of secondary volcanic activity after the great Wailau slide. That's why it is a somewhat odd projection from the cliffs.

Excellent simulation, but to really have an impact you need to show how it would affect populated areas. How far inland would it go in Los Angeles or San Francisco or Seattle? Would it wash over Panama and into the Caribbean? What would the effects be in Japan, China and the Philippines? And perhaps more important, what are the odds of it happening in the next century?

Pretty interesting that you can literally see the collapse of the other islands on satellite. But what you're saying may be correct, but knowing the size of the wave is tough. What i take from this is there is just another thing to be wary about living on the west coast.
I like how the wave hits the inlet to San Francisco Bay and stops. Very realistic...
What would happen in San Francisco Bay during such an event? How high in the bay would the water rise? Would it swamp, say, the Dumbarton bridge? which is a rather low bridge over shallow water in the S Bay.
