Why does a tsunami—often under 10 feet tall—cause far more destruction than a towering 50-foot wave in Portugal? The secret lies beneath the surface. In this episode, we break down the difference between surface wind waves and tsunamis using a surprisingly helpful metaphor: a duck. You’ll learn how regular waves only move energy, while tsunamis move massive volumes of water across the entire water column—with deadly force. 🌊 Tsunamis don’t crash like waves. They flood, fast.
