A massive magnitude 8.8 earthquake struck near Russia’s Kamchatka Peninsula, triggering tsunami warnings across the Pacific. Millions were evacuated in Japan, Hawaii, and beyond. But despite the alarm, the tsunami was far smaller than expected. So… why didn’t a killer wave follow such a powerful quake?<br /><br />In this 1-minute video, we break down the science behind tsunami formation, explain how fault movement, seafloor shape, and quake energy all played a role—and reveal why this wasn’t a repeat of the devastating tsunamis of 2011 or 2004.<br /><br />:water_wave: Learn how warning systems worked, what saved lives, and why the ocean stayed surprisingly calm after such a monstrous quake.<br />WooGlobe Ref : WGA666038<br />For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com
