How Did This 1,300-Ton Boulder Travel Up a Cliff? Scientists Just Figured It Out

A giant stone in the task, the ancient tsunami walked a wave of 7,000 years ago. 1300-ton rock, according to a new study, the two-layer of the football field was swept by the transparent force of the wave.

But this was not an ordinary giant rock. In addition, a mega-tsunami sweeping the region was sitting in a tall cliff before he surfing the light of a new earth.

In July 2024, Candidate of Candidate of Queensland, Martin Kohler and Tonga’nın rocks, looking for the evidence of the former tunamists, was working. In particular, in the corner, in the history of a tsunami vibration in earthquake-prone areas such as Tonga, there were great stones that could give researchers to learn a lot.

In one of the days of the last fields, some local farmers informed the researchers about a stone. Rock is familiar to the locals Placeor literally, the “big rock” has never been studied by scientists. Most likely, the tsunami broom for the cover of the thick coat rolled previous satellite searches.

Boulder, showing that the ceremony came from one place near the ceremony, was made of coral reef. “I was very surprised; this was located far away from the field of work and had to be carried out by a very large tsunami,” Kohler said statement. Researchers’ findings were published in the magazine Marine Geology.

Then the researchers found a large gash in a high gap in a high gap in the nearest 100-meter near the ocean, and far from the position of 650 meters (200 meters). Before settling on Tonga, Rock was determined that Rock was deposited 6.891 years ago.

The researchers measured the size of a high, about two-storey house on 40 (14 meters 7 meters) in 40 (12 meters 7 meters) on 40 on 40. Now the world’s largest tsunami broom has the honor to be a rock. And this is the greatest stalking of a tsunami tsunami from the abyss.

The team then used a computer modeling to understand how much the ancient tsunami is roughly with the height Place it should have been. Tsunami, at least 164 feet (50 meters), and about a minute of about a minute, they concluded that they could pass. Tsunami has probably reached more than 70 miles per hour (113 kilometers per hour). It was great and very strong and researchers think more of the earthquake and put on the wave first.

Tonga sees many geological activities to trigger Tsunamis Destructive tsunami in 2022. Understanding more about the former Tsunamis mechanics, researchers can better prepare for future events, Queensland University coastal geomorphologist, coastal geomorphologist Annie Lau, said in a statement.

“The analysis strengthens our understanding of the wave of rocks to improve coastal-threatening regions in the world’s tsunami tendencies,” he said.
