The 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan, triggered by a 9.1-magnitude earthquake on March 11, produced waves reaching up to 40.5 meters (133 feet) in height. These devastating waves traveled up to 6 miles inland, causing nearly 20,000 deaths and triggering the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear disaster. #tsunami #earthquake #japan #bigwaves #nature | Ships & Models by Erick Navas

Tsunami from Massive Kamchatka Earthquake Captured by Satellite "26 November 2025—A satellite deployed to measure ocean surface heights was up to the challenge when a massive earthquake off the Kamchatka Peninsula triggered a Pacific-wide tsunami in late July. The Surface Water Ocean Topography or SWOT satellite captured the first high-resolution spaceborne track of a great subduction zone tsunami, researchers report in The Seismic Record. The track shows an unexpectedly complex pattern of waves
