Study Sees North Sea Tsunami Risk
It was a catastrophe of apocalyptic proportions. An earthquake shook Norway's coast between Bergen and Trondheim about 8,150 years ago. The tremors ripped pieces of land the size of Iceland from shallow water and sent them crashing into the deep sea. Like a stone thrown into a pond, the landslide produced ripples of waves that spread at the speed of a train -- powerful tsunamis racing across the North Sea. Along the beaches of Scotland the waves were up to six meters (20 feet) high. Geologists have discovered a ravaged Stone-Age site there.
Shouldn't evidence of that tsunami still be present in modern England and Scotland?
Has erosion altered the landscape that much in 8100 years to erase all evidence of deposits?
Added tsunami to the keywords. :') Thanks for the others, and for this fascinating topic.
