🌊 Ever wonder how an earthquake triggers a tsunami? It starts with a subsea quake (usually 7+M), which shifts the ocean floor and displaces huge amounts of water. ONC's @bennypir.bsky.social discuss more about tsunamis during a chat w/@cbcradiocanada.bsky.social: ici.radio-canada.ca/ohdio/premie...

ICYMI: An 8.8M quake off Russia triggered tsunami advisories across the Pacific, including BC. ONC’s sensors detected the quake in real time + small tsunami waves off Vancouver Island. Read more on our website: www.oceannetworks.ca/news-and-sto...

A massive 8.8M quake off Russia triggered Pacific-wide #tsunami alerts, including British Columbia. ONC’s ocean sensors detected the quake in real time & a small tsunami off Vancouver Island 7 hrs later. To learn more, visit our freely available data portal Oceans 3.0: data.oceannetworks.ca
