Ways the World Could End: Tsunami via Meteor



Some asteroids have orbits that cross the orbit of the Earth. That means that the Earth will be hit sometime. Recent studies have shown that the Earth has been hit an alarmingly large number of times in the past. One large impact is now thought to have contributed to the quick demise of the dinosaurs about 65 million years ago. The oceans cover about 75% of the Earth's surface, so it is likely the asteroid will hit an ocean. The amount of water in the ocean is nowhere near large enough to "cushion" the asteroid. The asteroid will push the water aside and hit the ocean floor to create a large crater. The water pushed aside will form a huge tidal wave, a tsunami. The tidal wave height in meters = (distance from impact)-0.717 × (energy of impact)0.495/ (1010.17). What this means is that a 10-km asteroid hitting any deep point in the Pacific (the largest ocean) produces a megatsunami along the entire Pacific Rim. The steam blasts from the water at the crater site rushing back over the hot crater floor will also produce tsunamis following the initial impact tsunami and crustal shifting as a result of the initial impact would produce other tsunamis---a complex train of tsunamis would be created from the initial impact. I do not own this video.

  1. wow
  2. woe
  3. That is totally fiction
  4. God damn it! Haven't the World trade centers had enough?! Lol

  7. I hope this is not real!😭😭😭😭😭😭
  8. if this really happens we probley not be there when it happens because dude we have scientist they ll alert us to leave
  9. I told my family if a tsunami ever comes let's just surf on it.
  10. tsunamis are more dangerous than meteor attacks
  11. Music...?
  12. did this scare anyone else
  13. May god be with us all
  14. lol all these religious people in the comments, god won't protect us if there is a astroid/meteorite, because he's not real.
  15. this is movie trailer
  16. Lol. The explosive impact of a meteor colliding will the earth would kill us long before the tsunami it generates engulfs the planet.
  17. i just hope god will protect other people that speak diffrenit languges
  18. when the asteriod hits if it hits a random ocean its creates a mega tsnaumi so big everyone willl drown to death 'get ripped to pieces because of the force of the mega tsnuami or get falled down from the force of the asteriod but that is impossbile so when it happens the possible stufff is you get drowned and get ripped at the same time .The astreiod makes the mega tsnuami so the astriod makes the mega tsnaumi' the tsnaumi causes the people to drown and get ripped so its the asteriod's fault we would die but the astriod makes the tsnaumi
  19. i know a end of earth
  20. Why do I watch stuff like this? All it does is give me anxiety.
