A tsunami covering Europe on a massive, continent-wide scale sounds terrifying 🌊 But at that size, it wouldn’t realistically happen — and here’s why 👇 Tsunamis need an enormous, sudden displacement of water. Even the largest recorded earthquakes only move sections of the seafloor, not entire ocean basins 🌍 As tsunami waves travel, they lose energy across vast distances. By the time they cross oceans, their height is limited and spread out, not wall-like ⚖️ Europe’s varied coastlines, shallow

Imagine a tsunami wider than anything ever seen — swallowing coastlines, cities, and continents in one unstoppable wall of water. 🌊 Visually terrifying… but scientifically, this scale doesn’t hold up. Tsunamis don’t behave like movie-style flood waves. They’re generated by sudden displacement of enormous volumes of water, usually from undersea earthquakes, landslides, or volcanic activity. Even the most powerful earthquakes in recorded history only move sections of the seafloor by a few metres
