## Caption

A tsunami covering Europe on a massive, continent-wide scale sounds terrifying 🌊

But at that size, it wouldn’t realistically happen — and here’s why 👇

Tsunamis need an enormous, sudden displacement of water. Even the largest recorded earthquakes only move sections of the seafloor, not entire ocean basins 🌍

As tsunami waves travel, they lose energy across vast distances. By the time they cross oceans, their height is limited and spread out, not wall-like ⚖️

Europe’s varied coastlines, shallow seas, and land barriers would break up and weaken waves long before they could cover the continent 🚫

A wave that big would require something on a planet-impact scale, which would cause far greater global damage long before a tsunami ever formed ☄️
