Scientists have solved the mystery of a 650-foot mega-tsunami that made the Earth vibrate for 9 days

CNN  — 

It started with a melting glacier that set off a huge landslide, which triggered a 650-foot high mega-tsunami in Greenland last September 2023. Then came something inexplicable: a mysterious vibration that shook the planet for nine days.

Over the past year, dozens of scientists across the world have been trying to figure out what this signal was.

Now they have an answer, according to a new study in the journal Science, and it provides yet another warning that the Arctic is entering “uncharted waters” as humans push global temperatures ever upwards.

No. It is explained in the article.

The subsequent mega-tsunami — one of the highest in recent history — set off a wave which became trapped in the bendy, narrow fjord for more than a week, sloshing back and forth every 90 seconds.

The phenomenon, called a “seiche,” refers to the rhythmic movement of a wave in an enclosed space, similar to water splashing backwards and forwards in a bathtub or cup. One of the scientists even tried (and failed) to recreate the impact in their own bathtub.

While seiches are well-known, scientists previously had no idea they could last so long.

could it be from a submrine volcano? 

No. I explained to you already by quoting from the site I linked to.

What is your problem? You don't believe it, or what?

It's like talking to a concrete wall...

@docyabut2

Please read the first post in this thread.

Maybe you have a problem with your memory, but you're not blind yet, are you?

That would be quite surreal to witness. I am saddened no video exists.

This kind of phenomenon (landslide like this one) is not new.

Happened already, and there were 2 witnesses :

No, that's not the same thing. Both were tsunamis alright, but the one in post 1 reverberated in an enclosed by for 9 days.

Well as a matter of fact it is as the wave was 524m high (meaning more than the double of what was mesured here) on the one i mention...and at the time no mesures were done on the reverberation...but we can be pretty sure the consequences were a lot more persistent than in our case here. But i agree on the fact there are no traces nevertheless the absence of proof is not the proof of absence.

The Lithuya bay is 15.5 km by 3.2 km and 24 m deep...the numbers speak enough i think

This is not a dick contest, Amor.
