A new study has found that climate change could trigger gigantic tsunamis from Antarctica. The study, published in the journal Nature Communications, found that during previous periods of global warming, massive tsunamis hit South America, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. The study's authors say that as climate change continues to heat the oceans, there is a growing risk of these tsunamis being unleashed once more.
The study's authors drilled into sediment cores hundreds of feet beneath the seafloor in Antarctica. They found that during previous periods of global warming, loose sediment layers formed and slipped, sending massive tsunami waves racing to the shores of South America, New Zealand, and Southeast Asia. The study's authors say that as climate change heats the oceans, the water will become warmer and less dense. This will cause the water to expand, which will put more pressure on the sediment layers. As a result, there is a growing risk of these sediment layers slipping and triggering a tsunami.
The study's authors say that the tsunamis that could be triggered by climate change would be much larger than any tsunami that has ever hit the world's oceans. They say that these tsunamis could reach heights of up to 300 feet and could travel thousands of miles. The study's authors say that these tsunamis would have a devastating impact on coastal communities around the world.
The study's findings are a stark reminder of the dangers of climate change. They show that climate change is not just a threat to the environment, but also to human life. The study's authors call for urgent action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.
