I was searching for examples of parabolic dunes along the Oregon coast for comparison with tsunami chevrons, but I didn't find anything that fit the description. Do you have any examples you could point me to?
You can look at satellite images of any desert on Earth and find examples of every dune type. None of the large dunes are created by wind and that can be seen by the scale of them and the fact that many contain gravel and rocks. You can see interference patterns in most of the basins in the Sahara and other places (Star dunes), where the waves have reflected off a coastline and caused ripples in the lake bed. You can even calculate the depth of the water and size of the waves from these ripple patterns. Dunes are also found in northern Canada, like on Victoria Island, and west of Sverdlovsk in Siberia. In the Kandahar desert of Afghanistan you can see the effect of decreasing water velocity as the tsunami has travelled east.
Thank you sir, for the great effort.
10:39 very excited that we'll be visiting this place!
great explanation ty but audio was whack
