How do different heights of waves and tsunamis look like in comparison?
🌊 Some time ago, a group of computer graphic designers asked themselves this question and made this video.
🌊 It shows waves and tsunamis of different sizes in comparison to a small boat and some of the tallest buildings like the Eiffel Tower and the Burj Khalifa.
🌊 A multitude of waves from the smallest wave of 1 meter high to one of the tallest wave ever surfed and the biggest tsunami that was recorded in July 1958 in Lituya Bay, on Alaska's southern coast, is shown in the video.
ℹ️🌊 In the comments to this video a user rightly remarks that the form of normal waves and tsunami waves is different. Tsunami waves are usually not particularly high (unless in situations like Lituya Bay), it's the wavelength that is much more dangerous. Tsunami waves might only be 5m high but they continuously push inland, totally inundating the area. A normal wave, even if it’s very high, crashes and is dispersed in seconds.
