Alaska’s continental shelf and North American plate rose over 9 meters during the earthquake. This sudden displacement of the ocean floor, along with earthquake-induced landslides, generated massive local tsunamis that resulted in 70 percent of the fatalities in southern Alaska. The tsunamis created by the earthquake reached land within a few minutes of the ground shaking and engulfed some areas as much as 170 feet above sea level. Scientists measured a wave runup of 220 feet in the Valdez Inlet.
I learned it from reading this post:https://sh.itjust.works/post/14455184
Tsunami? What about the freakin QUAKE?!? It was a 9.2! Yeah, there was some water action after a 9.2.
I’m dealing with a site that was actually impacted by this, lol.
What do you mean?
