在美洲太平洋岸附近的洋面上,探测到了波高为半英寸的一次潮汐波。这在公海上还是头一次探测到这种波,人们可能以为这里所说的潮汐波与那些在海岸上摧毁住宅和厂房的海啸不是一回事。可是实际上,太平洋上巨大的潮汐波也不过较此略高一点,或许为几英寸高而已。这些并不常见的波很长,流速极快,当它们在沿岸重迭起来的时候,麻烦就临头了。在大陆架的洋面上,堆积起来的潮汐波一跃变成比房子还要高大并形成飞速奔腾的巨浪,所到之处万物皆被一扫而空,造成十分严重的破坏。为此,采取某些办法在公海上对它们进行
On the ocean near the Pacific coast of the Americas, a tidal wave of half an inch in height was detected. It was the first time this wave was detected on the high seas that one might think that the tidal waves described here are not the same thing as the tsunami that destroyed homes and factories on the coast. In fact, however, the huge tidal waves in the Pacific Ocean are just a bit higher, perhaps a few inches tall. These uncommon waves are long and fast, and when they overlap on the shores, troubles are over. On the ocean floor of the continental shelf, the tidal waves that have been piled up suddenly become taller than the house and form a huge wave of rapid Pentium. Wherever he goes, everything is swept away and caused very serious damage. To do this, we must take certain measures to carry out them on the high seas
