But huge landslides and the mega-tsunami that they cause are extremely rare - the last one happened 4,000 years ago on the island of Réunion. The growing concern is that the ideal conditions for...

Programme transcript. Horizon investigates an extremely rare and destructive phenomenon that strikes every few thousand years: a mega-tsunami. ... Mega-tsunami, on the other hand, move the entire body of the ocean, right down to the seabed several kilometres below. Because of the enormous volume of water that is shifted,

Megatsunami - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Megatsunami , also known as iminami , is an informal term to describe a tsunami that has initial wave heights that are much larger than normal tsunamis. Unlike usual tsunamis, which originate...

Recently, scientists have realised that the next Mega Tsunami is likely to begin on one of the Canary Islands, off the coast of North Africa, where a wall of water will one day race across the entire Atlantic Ocean at the speed of a jet airliner to devastate the east coast of the United States, the Caribbean and Brazil.

Coming One Day Near You - ; A Mega-Tsunami; By Michael Christie; 2-26-2; ... But Bryant says computer modeling suggests a meteor would not have to be a "dinosaur killer" to cause a mega-tsunami. A chunk 100 meters in diameter moving at 20 meters per second could theoretically produce a tsunami that is 27 meters high at source.

The new research, a collaboration between Dr. Simon Day of the Benfield Greig Hazard Research Centre at UCL and Dr. Steven Ward of the University of California, reveals the extent and size of the mega-tsunami, the consequence of a giant landslide that may be triggered by a future eruption of the Cumbre Vieja volcano.

Recent numerical modeling studies, forecasting mega tsunami generation from postulated, massive slope failures of Cumbre Vieja in La Palma, Canary Islands, and Kilauea, in Hawaii, have been based on incorrect assumptions of volcanic island slope instability, source dimensions, speed of failure and tsunami...

Past Mega-Tsunami Events in Lituya Bay ... The subaerial rockfall was considered as the most significant contributor to the mega-tsunami wave generation. However, a simple mechanism of mass collapse of a portion of the mountain and water volume displacement could not account for the extreme wave height.
