    To add to this:
    - Wave lengths can be 100-1000km apart
    - Waves can approach shore in 5 minutes intervals
    - Time between each wave is 5-60 minutes

      Hi, I do not think that there is any possible way to convert the energy of Tsunamis for something else as it could be too dagerous. The reason how we can get energy from lightning is that we can control where it strikes and then save the power. In this case we can not controll Tsunamis at all, and even if we did, we would not be able to see the eneregy in the water and catch up to its speed.

      Yes but this would determine how powerful and fast the waves hit the coastline, right? Constructive and Destructive Waves vary.

      Texturizer Also, There are also waves called Mega Tsunamis, which are caused by a large displacement of land in water, especially La Palma, a Canary Island with a super volcano that can create a landslide, causing waves 1 km /0.625 mi. /3300 feet high at first but then shrinking to 100 m/ 0.0625 mi./ 330 feet,

      lol! It happened here in Cebu, Philippines (it's impossible for us to get hit by tsunamis as we are surrounded by nearby islands). It was Feb 2012. People ran for the mountains when one motorcyclist was looking for her daughter after an earthquake, "Chonamae, Chonamae!" But he pronounced it as "tsonami! tsonami!", creating a panic among the people and leaving their vehicles on the streets to run to the mountains. HAHAHA
      (Disclaimer: It's just a legend. I don't know if it's true or not. But that's what people thought caused the panic.) 😂

    What this doesn't capture is the incredible wavelength of tsunamis. That's why most of the videos of the 2011 don't show towering waves bearing down on the shore. There, the leading edge of the tsunami usually wasn't very high, but the wave got gradually higher as more of the tsunami came ashore.

    It doesn't look like a big wave really, you see the sea coming, and coming, and coming, and never retreat... this happens way faster than u think at the moment. Its like when you have a big water pool to swim, then the plastic tears and the water floods everything in the yard, now take that moment in your head with sea, a pool that has pretty much endless water and keeps flooding everything. Now that you have a picture of the flood, add fishing ships, big containers and cars floating moving towards you, when it reaches the town it will be with some planks part of trees or even walls from houses.
    I'm not trying to argue here, its just the video shows like a rally big wave to surf in and fear, but its more like i said in the text before.

      I think the point is that with early warning, thanks to detection and monitoring systems, it may be possible to evacuate an area before the tsunami hits.
      More than 1,500 people died last week in Sulawesi from a series of heavy earthquakes and a tsunami. The devastation has an aftermath of suffering due to loss of infrastructure, power, clean water, road access, food supplies, telecommunications, etc. Takes sometimes years to rebuild in developing countries.

    You could plant massive concrete pillars in the coastal water so they cause the energy to diffuse and warp around them thus preventing the wave from forming as the energy changes path like a ball in a pachinko machine, loosing energy with each bounce but eh, do your own thing I guess.

    • @fullmetalfunk

      +Meep “the” Changeling It would depend on how big the tsunami is. If you go and watch some of the footage of the tsunami in Japan in 2011, or the Southeast Asian Boxing Day tsunami, there was just so much energy that that really wouldn't have stopped it. It would have just pushed right past, and any debris that hit it might have pulled the pillars down anyway. You're also going to be hard pressed to put enough pillars up to make any difference even for a small tsunami along the entire seaboards of tsunami prone areas. It's cheaper and probably much more effective to monitor conditions and give evacuation warnings when it's thought a tsunami might be approaching. The only places something like that could be useful, and only if you built them big enough and strong enough, would be at places like the Fukushima reactor where, even with people evacuated, the surge of water could cause catastrophic consequences. Even then, higher seawalls would be better suited and probably more effective than the pillars. Also maybe not building nuclear reactors around the ocean or on fault lines, lol.

    Ive just watched a tsunami video that occured in Ryoishi Town on 2011 and the tsunami didnt seem to be a giant wave. It was rather a fast and powerful watersurge that covered the whole harbor and everything else around the coastline in just a matter of a minute or less. A horrendous scene.

    I may be wrong, but from what I remember, a tsunami isn't like a normal wave in that it is as if the sea level as a whole has risen - the wave stretches a great distance in depth.

    You state that the tsunami is energy moving through the water and not the water moving. There must be more to it than that because when it reaches land an unbelievable amount of water inundates the land. What I am trying to work out is how so much water is moved and is there a correlation between the volume of water in a tsunami and the the volume of mass that moved to create the tsunami.

      +Addu Malah So it's not really the height of the wave itself, but the runup of where the water reaches, gotcha. I've also noticed in some tsunamis that there isn't really a wave at all, the water just suddenly surges inward with great force and doesn't stop

      @ThorKipperberg 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +Hydroxoid Tsunami waves, are not waves,in the common sence that is,. they are displacement of water, pushed forward and traveling at a great speed (800 km/h or more) the entire body of water is set in motion, either by large landslides above or underwater,a powerfull earthquake or volcanic eruption even icebergs can cause tsunamis or atomic blasts.tsunami waves are not tall cresting surfwaves as Hollywood has made us to believe, but instead they are 100s of mile long and several hundreds of mile wide waves, and they reach up from the bottom of the seafloor, up to the sealevel .When this amount of water is set in motion,notting can stop it ,exept natural barriers like tall mountains.When a tsunami wave hits the continental shelf, it slows down, and the water is forced upward and forward,draging the entire width and volume of water behind it.this causes the wave to steady but slowly rise upward and outward,and it looks like it kind of starts to roll on top of the ocean, but it wont crest over like a surfwave.As this rolling mass of water continues to get closer and closer to shore, the water builds and builds, and if the shoreline is shallow and reaches far out , it starts to suck/pull in the water from the bay or beach in a fast and steady pace. this can last for several minuttes .This helps the tsunami to gain even more volume and momentum, as all the water it takes out, will also be pushed back in, with all the rest of the volume it allready contain. From shore the tsunami wave now will look like a roaring white mess of water, but it wont look any diffrent to the untrained eyes than a turmoiled seawater or cresting waves hitting coral reefs and rocks and small mountains far out to sea,but there is one way to tell its different, is that there is this line of water in the horizon, that looks like its floating on top of the water, and that all the normal seawater has been pulled out.Then suddenly it starts to come back to shore ,first slowly , then faster and faster, and it starts to make a sound of a waterfall, then the entire body of water comes rushing up on land, with all its entire volume and power.And this will continue until the entire width of the wave has passed, then it will start to receed out, and the syckle repeat it self. over and over. In deeper water, it will act somewhat diffrently, and the tsunami will act more like a very fast moving abnormal tide, that just overflows everything in its way, shoree , beaches,piers,harbours, houses etc will suddenly be overfloved in seconds, there is no cresting wave here either, but in this case it just keeps on pushing and pushing on in like a strong flowing river or strong tidal stream. Tsunami waves are not meassured by wave height, but how far these things go inland and how much or high up the body of water rises up on land.And looking at a tsunami, you simply cant tell how big it is before its there.
