Tsunami are so much more relevant to human history than many think...but while we see them as rare, it's hard to imagine th3 time before they could be predicted....and especiallt before they were understood. They can and have happened on ANY and Every coastline,
You said this was not a seismic zone. This is actually on the Saint Lawrence rift system. Principled reason why the St.LSW channel runs right through the site of the slide. Loads of sediment on top of unstable rock. Doesn't take much of a precursor movement to get an unstable slide started. I do wish I knew how you do your simulations though.
I guess you are dont remember where the saint Lawrence rift is and in Atlantic this turbidic flows occurs almost all the time there is nothing do with the fault this is pure sediment flow that deposited by nearest rivers that flow to the seas. But I am curious about the that underwater valley between the Nova Scotia and Newfoundland..
@@gradhazer Just off the top of my head I'd posit that the monstrous out flows from the St Lawrence River basin at the end of the last four glaciation cycles did some carving and washing.
@@boxwoodgreen yes Indeed it is . I tought the same thing too. Well the last glaciation cycle probably changed the outfolw of water. probably that is the reason of this issue. We need more data about this to tell why this tsunami occured. Is it was purely the sedimantation ? Probably it is, but more data is needed.
@@johnperic6860 I'm thinking his unexpressed question might have been ... is the titanic wreck site at risk from a similar runout of a debris slump ? I'd say the slope off the Grand Banks is not as precipitous that far east, but I'm not qualified to say yes / no. It's a good question, because if it is... are the rules around treating the site as a gravesite still warranted. Knowing the site might be subject not just to just long natural iron decay and silt covering over centuries, but to utter obliteration by a slump flow.
@@cranksetwrench A) Earthquakes never happen in some areas ... until they do. in 2018 a 3.6 quake struck 20 miles due south of Detroit MI. Not a known fault area, ... it was Isostatic rebound from the last Ice Age the lobe which last retreated north past that area 13K years ago. B) A thick mass of silt load on a slope may not need a close quake to let go. The 1811 New Madrid series of quakes rang chuchbells (VI level shaking) twice as far as this quake was from the shelf over the Titanic site. And it was still (level (V) shaking in New York three times as far away.
I always love watching your simulations! I've learned so much. Thank you!
1000 km is a very long runout.
Crazy. You only hear of these in Asia. Thanks for sharing!
this was extremely helpful for my school project and honestly i wish i could of made this video myself so i could use it al as my own

@@boxwoodgreen no because earthquakes don’t happen that Far East

'' Titantic ''
Tsunami caused by unusual earthquake
The volume is too loud.
My ears are ringing.
