Okay who farted whilst diving?

[alrot]

Hey ,Wait a minute!!!! how come these experiment doen't make tsunamis ,Its shoud and its an open sea,Ive seen in tv this detonations before but I just though a minute ago , Why there isn't Tsunamis????

[Akula.]

Because theres a cloud. Most (if not all) of the force of the explosion is powering upwards and shoving water into the air at a quick rate. The explosion is near the surface.

A tsunami, in contrast, is on the sea bed, and pushes the sea up slowly, forming a wave not a cloud of vapourised water.

End of class, for homework please write an essay on water movement  ;D

That was an 8kt nuclear test called "Umbrella" (Operation Hardtack) in 1958. It took place at Enewetok Island and left an (underwater) Crater 3000ft in diameter 20ft deep.
I have a documentary called "Atomic Filmmakers" where
the camera men who made this footage is interviewed.
He told that 3 big waves came in.. and the last flooded the whole island while they where sitting on towers filming
the event. Not my kind of job !

[Mees]

I'd love to detonate that

[alrot]

this make pretty much sense to me -sam-,..,Akula_dude try to find a good explanatory,he did well ,but I was still doubt,I thing any kind of nuclear detonation will reach the bottom of the sea ,no matter if in the bomb in on the surface ,It will move the whole watter to the bottom of the sea including the soil  of it ,creating big disturbance like an object from out of space impact,Could make the biggest tsunamis though...

[Akula.]

That was 8kt. I heard the americans have a 100mt warhead in development!  :o I can see tsunamis becoming a new weapon of mass destruction...
