Tsunami wave propagation This video, produced by the Tectonics Observatory at Caltech, shows a simulation of how the 2004 Tsunami worked its way through the Indian Ocean. You can see which features cause it to bend, slow, or stop, and which features take direct hits. You can also see how there are peaks and troughs formed by the waves as they spread out from the source. Simulations like these, conducted on modern supercomputers, allow scientists to understand how tsunamis move after they’re generated and allow policy-makers and emergency preparedness organizations a better understanding of how their risks are impacted by different geologic scenarios. -JBB Video credit: TO https://youtube/watch?v=N95rsXj0jDU Read more: nctr.pmel.noaa.gov/propagation-database.html Dear Readers, Most of our posts are not reaching your news feed due to fbs filtering system.
