Megatsunamis are large waves that are caused by the sudden and large-scale movement of large volumes of water. This is most often caused by large chunks of ice falling into the ocean. Waves can reach a height of 150 meters and move at a tremendous speed.
In 10 years, the water level in the world's oceans has risen by 3.8 centimeters. This means that the risks of megatsunamis have increased. The cause of the wave that slammed into the uninhabited Dixie Island on the east coast of Greenland in 2023 was the melting of glaciers, according to New Atlas.
Scientists don't know how to stop the coming disasters. Researchers say that the only way to save themselves is to evacuate the population.
Recall that scientists first discovered microplastics in the snows of Antarctica. Scientists have modeled the fall of an asteroid on St. Petersburg.
