00:00Why didn't one of the strongest earthquakes ever recorded cause a catastrophic tsunami?
00:04When an 808-magnitude quake hit Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, the world braced for disaster.
00:10Millions were evacuated across the Pacific, memories of 2004 and 2011's deadly tsunamis still fresh.
00:17But the waves? Surprisingly mild, around 4 meters high in some areas.
00:22So, what happened?
00:24This was a megathrust earthquake caused by massive tectonic plates grinding and suddenly slipping.
00:30The quake was powerful, but the tsunami's size depends on more than just magnitude.
00:35Local seafloor shape, coastline angles, and even how deep the quake struck all matter.
00:41And this one? It may have occurred deeper than first thought, reducing the wave's power.
00:46Plus, early warning systems worked fast, giving people time to move to safety.
00:51Unlike 2004, when no alerts existed and over 230,000 lives were lost.
00:56Science can't yet predict when quakes will hit, but it's getting better at keeping us alive when they do.
01:02This time, nature struck hard, but we were more ready than ever.
01:06Science can Toronto, because of the name of fitness Antonio.
01:09So, the Covid-19, we have to admit that there were two main things in our energy of the planet.
01:11The next thing we were going about is that there is a category of the vitamin D and the successor to the planet.
01:14The next thing we're going to do is to provide all these things.
01:16That's the subject we can do.
01:18The next thing we're going to do is call out on the list of your body.
01:19The next thing we're going to do is call out on the list of the radiators.
01:21The number of the ice, the cartilage, the first thing we've been to do,
01:23The next thing we're going to call out the list of our top four-tieri by the water,
01:24The next one we have to give up the energy set of the water.
01:26We're going to be 0.
