Worlds Biggest Recorded Tsunami!
By: Austin Breunig
ID Information
I occurred at night on July 9, 1958. I'm the Tsunami of Lituya Bay, Alaska. I was located at latitude 58.6° N, longitude 137.1°. I was located in Alaska I scared tons of people because of my great size. I am known as a megatsunami!
Event Information
There was an earthquake of a magnitude of 9.2 that's huge! When the earthquake hit it caused me to make huge waves moving towards land. I killed over 3,500 people and made tons of people homeless. Alaska is part of a tectonic plate boundary that's probably why I was so big.
History
I am the biggest recorded tsunami recorded! Alaska has been known for earthquakes but not one as big as 9.2. I frightened so many people after I occurred I am sure you would have been scared too.
