A ‘seiche’ wave can outpace a tsunami and both can be triggered by meteorites and earthquakes

A catastrophic event occurred on Earth 66 million years ago. A huge meteorite struck our planet in what is now Mexico, triggering mass extinctions of the dinosaurs and most other living creatures.

A new paper shows the first recorded victims of this impact were fish and other marine animals, stranded by a wave that left them high and dry in an ancient river in North Dakota, at a site called Tanis.

No, we had a discussion about these waves and a tsunami that also involved the meteor impact 66 million years ago. This article goes much further and introduces new factors regarding the impact event and acknowledges there are many gaps in our knowledge, including how marine fish were at the fossil site. A very interesting read.
