I wonder if a tsunami mixes the fish around in the water or if they can avoid to get dragged along.

- isoprophlex 2y agoIIRC the water displacement on open seas is super modest, only when the thing hits shallower water near the coast does it become a problem Edit: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-VcWF8dIDj4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-VcWF8dIDj4 They're a few miles off the coast, ~10 m high waves, 38 m deep water according to some comment that translates the audio. pretty scary vid, for sure.
- bamboozled 2y agoHard to imagine what it must've felt like going over the crest of that wave and just wondering what's next. Anyone who has surfed decent sized waves know this feeling.
- isoprophlex 2y agoJudging by the translated conversation, they seem pretty intense about quickly detecting, and properly turning into, the next wave...
- wiredfool 2y agoStrongly depends on if it's a deep water portion or if it's shallow. In deep water, a tsunami is boring and nearly unnoticable. There's some motion, but it's essentially all low displacement coherent movement and very little other motion. When that mass of water gets to shallow water, it's essentially the opposite, there's effectively big mass of water that's pushed on land, and that's very turbulent.
