š What if a tsunami covered the entire Earth⦠every continent⦠every city⦠everything? š
Could one wave really sweep across the whole planet? š¤Æ
Would there be anywhere to hide?
Could mountains stop it⦠or would they vanish beneath it?
Letās get real for a second⦠š
A global, planet-wide tsunami like that canāt actually happen ā and hereās why:
The oceans are vast, but theyāre also separated by continents and shaped by the Earthās crust. š
Tsunamis form from things like earthquakes or landslides⦠but even the biggest ones lose energy as they spread out.
For a wave to cover the entire Earth, youād need something far beyond anything naturally possible ā like an impact so massive it would do far worse than create a wave. āļø
Even the most powerful tsunami ever recorded only affected specific regions, not the whole planet.
So while it makes for a crazy thoughtā¦
a full-Earth tsunami is not scientifically possible šā
But still⦠imagine standing there watching the horizon disappea...
