Unprecedented Heights: The Record-Breaking Tsunami That Defied Altitude Limits
TsunamiHighest land elevation ever reached by a tsunami (record) Tsunami Introduction Tsunamis are powerful natural disasters that can cause devastating damage along the world’s coastlines. These massive waves are typically generated by undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or submarine landslides. While tsunamis are commonly associated with coastal regions, their effects can extend beyond the immediate coastline.
