Today I will be writing about the Alaskan Tsunami, something we covered in Social Studies.
The Alaskan Tsunami happened in 1958, on the evening of the 9th of July in Lituya Bay. The cause of the mega-tsunami was the striking of an earthquake which struck the Southeastern side of Alaska. The earthquake triggered a mega-tsunami, it's maximum height reaching 524 meters high. Not only did an earthquake and mega-tsunami affect the area, a rock slide did too.
Below is a graph showing the difference between the Alaskan Tsunami and famous landmarks:
