Chemicals and Chaos- Chaos: Tsunami

There have been many tsunamis that have hit the surface of this planet, the size of the tsunamis that we have experience vary in size. The Alaskan Tsunami, which occurred on Lituya Bay, Alaska, July 9, 1958. Is the biggest ever recorded by far; millions and millions of trees that were near the shore of the bay were wiped and were pulled out from their roots. The tsunami is considered as a mega-tsunami, 30 million cubic metres of rock fell and cause the disaster that we have recorded in history today.  From city near the bay--Yakutat--  a water tower collapsed, cabin destroyed which is then beyond repair. Two fishermen died in the disaster after they have been caught in the gigantic wave. In this activity, we began to scale and be able to compare the size of the mega-tsunami to be able to understand the impact that it gave.
