How about the ships at sea??
Ships are OK, the tsunami is a ripple at deep sea, I knew some folk that were scuba diving during the big tsunami. What I worry about are the Marshall Islands, Majuro, Kwajelein, Kosrae, Phonpei, Johnston, Guam, Truk, Yap, Saipan, Midway, etc. Those are low lying atolls, could be pretty bad.
I thought I heard that a tsunami travels underwater when way out....it’s when it hits shallower water that it rises...or unloads its “steam”
How about the ships at sea??
No problem. The ocean rises some but it is not a significant wave per say. The size of the wave dramatically increases as the energy comes ashore in the shallow water.
Exactly what cornfedcowboy said. Fascinating how a tsunami can travel up to 550 MPH underwater and a ship barley notices it.
