Greenland: How a landslide triggered worldwide vibrations for nine days
A massive landslide in Greenland sent vibrations around the world, and all the way into space.
The landslide, which occurred on August 17, 2022, was the largest ever recorded in Greenland.
The landslide sent a powerful seismic wave that traveled through the Earth's crust and was recorded by seismic stations around the world.
The seismic wave was so powerful that it even caused the Earth to wobble slightly on its axis.
The landslide was caused by a combination of factors, including:
- Heavy rainfall
- Melting snow
- Steep slopes
The landslide released an estimated 30 million tons of rock and ice into the ocean.
The landslide also caused a massive tsunami that reached heights of up to 100 feet.
The tsunami caused significant damage to coastal communities in Greenland.
The landslide and tsunami are a reminder of the power of nature.
They also highlight the importance of being prepared for natural disasters.
Here are some tips for preparing for a natural disaster:
- Have an emergency plan in place.
- Stock up on food and water.
- Identify a safe place to go if you need to evacuate.
- Stay informed about weather forecasts and warnings.
- Be prepared to help your neighbors.
