Description
In this National Geographic News article, read about a study indicating that a major earthquake off the U.S. West Coast could produce tsunami waves that send water surging up the coast to much greater heights than previously anticipated. Some believe, however, that the study's model fails to take into account the nuances of local geographic topography, which could potentially reduce the impact of a tsunami.
