These waves are dangerous, even to large ships, and can even flow ashore, pulling people into the water. Research on the topic is still ongoing so there are many different proposed mechanisms for the creation of

But one shipwreck in particular is the one that is important in history. This ship wreck is over 100 years old and is resting

strains in the oceanic crust, which can lead to normal faults. The Samoan earthquake was located around the northern terminus of the Tonga volcanic arc where the trench has a sharp bend going west. The earthquake happened just east of this trench. The Pacific plate entered the subduction zone and made a steep descent downward, as the subduction is quite dense and old. This then resulted in faults near the Tongan Trench

Christopher Reeve once said, “Either you stay in the shallow end of the pool or you go out in the ocean.” Having been growing up on a boat during the summer for a majority of my life, I have always been surrounded by the ocean.
