Nom nom fajitas , burritos , enchiladas . <| sep |> maybe you should try register here <| sep |> That was the career killer for him . Sad story . He was really adrift , and nothing had prepared him for the pressures of the title so young . I ' m glad he seems to be doing well now . <| sep |> Iirc , if you were in deep water there may be some bubbling and maybe some surface agitation however , there is no giant wave . So the earthquake causes a sudden displacement of a LOT of water . This causes a wave with a high speed but a low amplitudeheight . The wave is a LOT of water moving fast thru the deep ocean . The tsunami happens because all of that energy pushing that gigantic deep wave starts to hit shallower water . The amount of water in the wave didn ' t changeso to speak , but now the wave is slower but with high amplitudeheight . Another way to think of it you use 1 metric FUCKton of energy to cause a wave in 3 , 688 metersavg ocean depth deep water . That ' s a lot of water being pushed through the full thickness of the deep water depth . In shallower water you have the same amount of force pushing that huge column of water along but the water gets shallower and the only way for that wave to go is up , since the ocean floor is not going to give , and that causes the gigantic tsunami wave . So the powerful wave goes from 3 , 688 m deep to 10 m deep to 5 and so on . The only way for that massive column of water to go is up and forward . 2 . jpgI feel like I rambled and repeated things and my reframing got discombobulated lol . Hope it ' s understandable .
