Hi, I do not think that there is any possible way to convert the energy of Tsunamis for something else as it could be too dagerous. The reason how we can get energy from lightning is that we can control where it strikes and then save the power. In this case we can not controll Tsunamis at all, and even if we did, we would not be able to see the eneregy in the water and catch up to its speed.
Texturizer Also, There are also waves called Mega Tsunamis, which are caused by a large displacement of land in water, especially La Palma, a Canary Island with a super volcano that can create a landslide, causing waves 1 km /0.625 mi. /3300 feet high at first but then shrinking to 100 m/ 0.0625 mi./ 330 feet,
lol! It happened here in Cebu, Philippines (it's impossible for us to get hit by tsunamis as we are surrounded by nearby islands). It was Feb 2012. People ran for the mountains when one motorcyclist was looking for her daughter after an earthquake, "Chonamae, Chonamae!" But he pronounced it as "tsonami! tsonami!", creating a panic among the people and leaving their vehicles on the streets to run to the mountains. HAHAHA (Disclaimer: It's just a legend. I don't know if it's true or not. But that's what people thought caused the panic.) 😂
fun fact: the highest ever recorded tsunami was over 1100 metres in Alaska caused by a massive landslide, where only a father Fisherman and his son saw it. (but they survived)
@@definitelynotasimp9334 my teacher kept on asking me y I haven't sent it in for her but I just ignored her and ended up getting a D. my parents weren't happy lol
What this doesn't capture is the incredible wavelength of tsunamis. That's why most of the videos of the 2011 don't show towering waves bearing down on the shore. There, the leading edge of the tsunami usually wasn't very high, but the wave got gradually higher as more of the tsunami came ashore.
Just to clear something up, Fukushima didn't cause18000 deaths, the tsunami did. It is a little misleading in the video if you aren't listening carefully. Great video though. Thunderfoot has some good videos about the affect Fukushima had on people.
It's also important to note that the sea wall surrounding Fukushima wasn't as tall as it was supposed to be. Other nuclear plants' walls managed to stop the water due to being taller.
It doesn't look like a big wave really, you see the sea coming, and coming, and coming, and never retreat... this happens way faster than u think at the moment. Its like when you have a big water pool to swim, then the plastic tears and the water floods everything in the yard, now take that moment in your head with sea, a pool that has pretty much endless water and keeps flooding everything. Now that you have a picture of the flood, add fishing ships, big containers and cars floating moving towards you, when it reaches the town it will be with some planks part of trees or even walls from houses. I'm not trying to argue here, its just the video shows like a rally big wave to surf in and fear, but its more like i said in the text before. I'm from Chile, and the tsunami on 2010 killed more people than the earthquake itself.
*02:56** That is because the tsunami walls were 10 meters in height and the tsunami waves were 20 to 40.5 meters in height.* *But despite that, it definitely slowed it a little, without these walls it would've been even worse.*
No, the highest tsunami wave from 2011 is 20 meters but the tsunami run-up reach as high as 40 meters. Tsunami wave height is not the same as tsunami run-up height.
@@zeff8820 yes you are correct but most people don't know the correct terminology and simply refere to the run-up or on-shore height (40m in this case) when they say height not the Tsunami or off-shore height (20m). Edit: typos

I think the point is that with early warning, thanks to detection and monitoring systems, it may be possible to evacuate an area before the tsunami hits. More than 1,500 people died last week in Sulawesi from a series of heavy earthquakes and a tsunami. The devastation has an aftermath of suffering due to loss of infrastructure, power, clean water, road access, food supplies, telecommunications, etc. Takes sometimes years to rebuild in developing countries.
+Lu Sung haha , Same here . I bet everyone same. The narators and the animations are awesome in TED-ed. Also the information is interesting but I forget it as soon as the video is over xD
Damn. I remember the 2004 Tsunami. I was asleep when it happened, but I woke up and went to the balcony and I saw a huge flood. At first I thought it was heavy rain, but it was too much. An uncle said it must have been a tsunami.
a tsunami has been an irrational (maybe) fear of mine since i was a kid. i'd constantly have dreams of this huge wave ravaging my home and sweeping away my loved ones. to this day i check for tsunami signs whenever i'm at the beach 😭😭
I may be wrong, but from what I remember, a tsunami isn't like a normal wave in that it is as if the sea level as a whole has risen - the wave stretches a great distance in depth.
In the year 1700, there was a massive earthquake in Alaska. It caused a tsunami over in Japan. Because there wasn’t any way of communicating soon enough back then, the people in Japan had no idea where this death wave came from.
You could plant massive concrete pillars in the coastal water so they cause the energy to diffuse and warp around them thus preventing the wave from forming as the energy changes path like a ball in a pachinko machine, loosing energy with each bounce but eh, do your own thing I guess.
+Meep “the” Changeling It would depend on how big the tsunami is. If you go and watch some of the footage of the tsunami in Japan in 2011, or the Southeast Asian Boxing Day tsunami, there was just so much energy that that really wouldn't have stopped it. It would have just pushed right past, and any debris that hit it might have pulled the pillars down anyway. You're also going to be hard pressed to put enough pillars up to make any difference even for a small tsunami along the entire seaboards of tsunami prone areas. It's cheaper and probably much more effective to monitor conditions and give evacuation warnings when it's thought a tsunami might be approaching. The only places something like that could be useful, and only if you built them big enough and strong enough, would be at places like the Fukushima reactor where, even with people evacuated, the surge of water could cause catastrophic consequences. Even then, higher seawalls would be better suited and probably more effective than the pillars. Also maybe not building nuclear reactors around the ocean or on fault lines, lol.
Electric stuff like chargers are weak to water that they explode. So yeah fire comes, or maybe because of the earthquake. Because Tsunamis are created by earthquakes
This animation has a portuguese title, but it is all in english...I am lucky for knowing some english. Tsunamis are terrible, in Brazil almost never have it. We are all blessed!
Ive just watched a tsunami video that occured in Ryoishi Town on 2011 and the tsunami didnt seem to be a giant wave. It was rather a fast and powerful watersurge that covered the whole harbor and everything else around the coastline in just a matter of a minute or less. A horrendous scene.

"killing over 200.000 people throughout *South Asia" NOT South Asia, it's *South-east Asia since it happened in Indonesian island of Sumatera, not related to South Asian nations of India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, etc during its course. just an info! :)
Also true.. but the ACTUAL 9.3 SR quake causing the tsunamis that happened not only in Sri Lanka and India, but also Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and even Myanmar, happened in Indonesia
Mellyanda Ratu A tsunami DID happen in India's Coastal places . It's true that it hit through out South Asia . It hitted places like Kerela , Tamil Nadu and Nicobar and Andaman Islands (And Sri Lanka)
The animation here is a bit misleading though. It just looks like a big wave. Tsunami in reality is a continuous force of water which is even hundreds of meters. It's more like the ocean over flowing rather than a wave hitting the coast.
Video of the Japan 2011 event does show lots of examples of breaking waves on the leading edge of the tsunami, although I agree the animation here is not the most scientific.
``In 479 BC, when Persian soldiers besieged the Greek city of Potidaea, the tide retreated much farther than usual, leaving a convenient invasion route. But this wasn't a stroke of luck. Before they had crossed halfway, the water returned in a wave higher than anyone had ever seen, drowning the attackers. The Potiidaeans believed they had been saved by the wrath of Poseidon. But what really saved them was likely the same phenomenon that has destroyed countless others: a tsunami. Although tsunamis are common;y knows as tidal waves, they're actually unrelated to the tidal activity caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon. In many ways, tsunamis are just larger versions of regular waves. They have a trough and a crest, and consist not of moving water, but the movement of energy through water. The difference is in where this energy comes from. For normal ocean waves it comes from wind. Because this only affects the surface, the waves are limited in size and speed. But tsunamis are caused by energy originating underwater, from a volcanic eruption, a submarine landslide, or most commonly, an earthquake on the ocean floor caused when the tectonic plates of the Earth's surface slip, releasing a massive amount of energy into the water. This energy travels up to the surface, displacing water and raising it above the normal sea level, but gravity pulls it back down, which makes the energy ripple outwards horizontally. Thus, the tsunami is born, moving at over 500 miles per hour. When it's far from shore, a tsunami can be barely detectable since it moves through the entire depth of the water. But when it reaches shallow water, something called wave shoaling occurs. Because there is less water to move through, this still massive amount of energy is compressed. The wave's speed slows down, while it's height rises to as much as 100 feet. The word tsunami, Japanese for ''harbor wave,'' comes from the fact that it only seems to appear near the coast. If the trough of a tsunami reaches shore first, the water will withdraw farther than normal before the wave hits, which can be misleadingly dangerous. A tsunami will not only drown people near the coast, but level buildings and tress for a mile inland or more, especially in low-ling areas. As if that weren't enough, the water then retreats, dragging with it the newly created debris, and anything, or anyone, unfortunate enough to be caught in it's path. In 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history, killing over 200,000 people throughout South Asia. So how can we protect ourselves against this destructive force of nature? People in some areas have attempted to stop tsunamis with sea walls, flood gates, and channels to divert the water. But these are not always effective. In 2011 a tsunami surpassed the flood wall protecting Japan's Fukushima Power Plant, causing a nuclear disaster and addition to claiming over 18,000 lives. Many scientists and policy makers are instead focusing on early detection, monitoring underwater pressure and seismic activity, and establishing global communication networks for quickly distributing alerts. When nature is too powerful to stop, the safest course is to get out of it's way.`` - Alex Gendler. You're welcome. xD
When u find out ur school kept this as a link in LWA which is uploaded 8 urs ago. like, maybe a video which was posted a bit sooner ya know. But it is amazing. I understood so much from this. I rate it 10/10
TED, we need to talk... USGS - Although both are sea waves, a tsunami and a tidal wave are two different and unrelated phenomena. A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. ("Tidal wave" was used in earlier times to describe what we now call a tsunami.) A tsunamis is an ocean wave triggered by large earthquakes that occur near or under the ocean, volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides, or by onshore landslides in which large volumes of debris fall into the water.

2:18 HOW ARE THE BUILDINGS ON FIRE WHEN THE TSUNAMI HIT?! IT WATER!
Harper_Wolf 07 ik
Electric stuff like chargers are weak to water that they explode. So yeah fire comes, or maybe because of the earthquake. Because Tsunamis are created by earthquakes
This animation has a portuguese title, but it is all in english...I am lucky for knowing some english. Tsunamis are terrible, in Brazil almost never have it. We are all blessed!
Very educational and easy to understand!
Ive just watched a tsunami video that occured in Ryoishi Town on 2011 and the tsunami didnt seem to be a giant wave. It was rather a fast and powerful watersurge that covered the whole harbor and everything else around the coastline in just a matter of a minute or less. A horrendous scene.
No, it was actually the Poseidon.
Petar Ivanovic poseidon just found a new toy
Best thing to do during a tsunami is to tell it that it is over and that you have the high ground 💯🙏💪👍🤙👌👉👏🙌
When I was young, my father taught me that. Now I see it visualized
Thx so much. Helped me with school project a lot
Potidaea reminds me a story about Moses, Paraoh and the Red Sea.
Great lesson for us that live in these islands prone for Tsunami.
thank you for this fifth grade demonstration that will not leave my recommendation box!
Alex Krasikow I’m in 5th grade 🤣
I learned more from this one video than I did in 10 years of school
Noah:I love tsunamis but tsunamis are terrifying and scary :-) O_O
This was a really good video. It was really informative.
Anyone else here from the Bay Area today?
yep😭
The intro is so fascinating
Who came for geography homework
I did
Definitely Poseidon.
Hey! This is an irrelevant question but I am asking 'Which app are you using to animate this video??' Please answer as soon as possible.
And the video wad wonderful, thanks for giving such a nice video.
Hello and good day! can we use this vid for educational purposes pls? Thanks and more power!
Fun fact: You are only here for school work
Nah. I was just curious
OMG Poseidon, it's like a cruise ship that flip over
2:12, same people, different colors.......
😂
Lol
What do you want?
Excellent narration Michelle Snow....
Thanks! Helped me a lot)
***** LOL, hey! #TED
+Scorpion - Agar.io Woah I was just watching one of your videos, then went to home and saw this video in my recommended. :o I love your vids btw...
Ayyy, I want to play Agat with you!
The last sentence makes so much sense now
lol! Here in Cebu, Philippines (it's impossible for us to get hit by tsunamis as we are surrounded by nearby islands). It was Feb 2012. People ran for the mountains when one motorcyclist was looking for her daughter after an earthquake, "Chonamae, Chonamae!" But he pronounced it as "tsonami! tsonami!", creating a panic among the people and leaving their vehicles on the streets to run to the mountains. HAHAHA
(Disclaimer: It's just a legend. I don't know if it's true or not. But that's what people thought caused the panic.) 😂
Nice video
"killing over 200.000 people throughout *South Asia"
NOT South Asia, it's *South-east Asia since it happened in Indonesian island of Sumatera, not related to South Asian nations of India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, etc during its course.
just an info! :)
IMO they should have said "south part of Asia". Though the 2004 tsunami did indeed affect some south Asian countries especially Sri Lanka and India.
Also true.. but the ACTUAL 9.3 SR quake causing the tsunamis that happened not only in Sri Lanka and India, but also Thailand, Malaysia, Vietnam and even Myanmar, happened in Indonesia
Mellyanda Ratu A tsunami DID happen in India's Coastal places . It's true that it hit through out South Asia . It hitted places like Kerela , Tamil Nadu and Nicobar and Andaman Islands (And Sri Lanka)
And thank you for sharing this!
It affected India also
The animation here is a bit misleading though. It just looks like a big wave. Tsunami in reality is a continuous force of water which is even hundreds of meters. It's more like the ocean over flowing rather than a wave hitting the coast.
Video of the Japan 2011 event does show lots of examples of breaking waves on the leading edge of the tsunami, although I agree the animation here is not the most scientific.
Yeah, that tsunami fucked us here in japan hard
Please pray for our friends in west java that has a tsunami warning that's about 20 meters🙏
Those darn tectonic plates man,I’m tryna tell ya 🤧🤧🤧
``In 479 BC, when Persian soldiers besieged the Greek city of Potidaea, the tide retreated much farther than usual, leaving a convenient invasion route. But this wasn't a stroke of luck. Before they had crossed halfway, the water returned in a wave higher than anyone had ever seen, drowning the attackers. The Potiidaeans believed they had been saved by the wrath of Poseidon. But what really saved them was likely the same phenomenon that has destroyed countless others: a tsunami. Although tsunamis are common;y knows as tidal waves, they're actually unrelated to the tidal activity caused by the gravitational forces of the Sun and Moon. In many ways, tsunamis are just larger versions of regular waves. They have a trough and a crest, and consist not of moving water, but the movement of energy through water. The difference is in where this energy comes from. For normal ocean waves it comes from wind. Because this only affects the surface, the waves are limited in size and speed. But tsunamis are caused by energy originating underwater, from a volcanic eruption, a submarine landslide, or most commonly, an earthquake on the ocean floor caused when the tectonic plates of the Earth's surface slip, releasing a massive amount of energy into the water. This energy travels up to the surface, displacing water and raising it above the normal sea level, but gravity pulls it back down, which makes the energy ripple outwards horizontally. Thus, the tsunami is born, moving at over 500 miles per hour. When it's far from shore, a tsunami can be barely detectable since it moves through the entire depth of the water. But when it reaches shallow water, something called wave shoaling occurs. Because there is less water to move through, this still massive amount of energy is compressed. The wave's speed slows down, while it's height rises to as much as 100 feet. The word tsunami, Japanese for ''harbor wave,'' comes from the fact that it only seems to appear near the coast. If the trough of a tsunami reaches shore first, the water will withdraw farther than normal before the wave hits, which can be misleadingly dangerous. A tsunami will not only drown people near the coast, but level buildings and tress for a mile inland or more, especially in low-ling areas. As if that weren't enough, the water then retreats, dragging with it the newly created debris, and anything, or anyone, unfortunate enough to be caught in it's path. In 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami was one of the deadliest natural disasters in history, killing over 200,000 people throughout South Asia. So how can we protect ourselves against this destructive force of nature? People in some areas have attempted to stop tsunamis with sea walls, flood gates, and channels to divert the water. But these are not always effective. In 2011 a tsunami surpassed the flood wall protecting Japan's Fukushima Power Plant, causing a nuclear disaster and addition to claiming over 18,000 lives. Many scientists and policy makers are instead focusing on early detection, monitoring underwater pressure and seismic activity, and establishing global communication networks for quickly distributing alerts. When nature is too powerful to stop, the safest course is to get out of it's way.`` - Alex Gendler.
You're welcome. xD
if ur scared of tsunamis say me cause tsunamis can destroy a whole city 😖😖😖😖
vallerie lover of everything me me me me me!!!!!!!!
When u find out ur school kept this as a link in LWA which is uploaded 8 urs ago. like, maybe a video which was posted a bit sooner ya know. But it is amazing. I understood so much from this. I rate it 10/10
I need to write a paragraph so. I need to learn something
Nice
TED, we need to talk...
USGS - Although both are sea waves, a tsunami and a tidal wave are two different and unrelated phenomena. A tidal wave is a shallow water wave caused by the gravitational interactions between the Sun, Moon, and Earth. ("Tidal wave" was used in earlier times to describe what we now call a tsunami.) A tsunamis is an ocean wave triggered by large earthquakes that occur near or under the ocean, volcanic eruptions, submarine landslides, or by onshore landslides in which large volumes of debris fall into the water.
Pretty sure they explained that.
