A tsunami will reach land and hit the land with a massive amount of water and will topple over small structures, flip cars and move them like dust in the wind. The tsunami can go far into land up to about 8 miles. The tsunami is most likely caused by an earthquake out at sea.
Tsunamis are giant waves caused by undersea earthquakes, landslides or volcanic eruptions. The severity of their effects depends on a number of factors, namely the magnitude of the earthquake, landslide or volcanic eruption, along with its distance from shore. Small and undetectable tsunamis occur almost every day with little to no effect, but larger tsunamis have devastating effects to life and land that are often irreversible. The central effect of large tsunamis is massive loss of human life. With no time to escape, tsunamis cause near instant death, usually by drowning, but also by collapsing buildings, electrocution and more. Since 1850, tsunamis have killed more than 430,000 people. The March 2011 tsunami in Japan left a total of 18,550 people killed and/or missing. The severe flooding that occurs as a result of a tsunami also damages sewer systems, water supplies and soil. Stagnant and contaminated water leads to malaria and other diseases, causing illness, infection and death to spread rapidly. Soil becomes salinized from sea water and debris, effecting long-term yields of crops. The tall and fast-moving waves also damage property and permanently alter the landscape, sometimes wiping out entire islands. They destroy everything in their path, including buildings, trees, power lines, bridges, cars, boats and more, leaving behind them a mass of solid waste and debris that is almost impossible to clean up. They also destroy animal life, insects, plants and natural resources. Hazardous materials and toxic substances are also a concern, as asbestos, oil fuel and other industrial raw materials and chemicals often leak as a result of property damage.
Let's take, Michigan 200 million years ago. Average carbon dioxide levels would have been 1850 parts per million which means that global temperatures would average 3 degrees warmer than today. Michigan was positioned between the cold sea current to the west and mountain ranges to the east (as tall as the Himalayas are today). So the climate in Michigan at this time must have been an extremely arid desert.
Well, depending on the climate the mountain is in would cause to differ strongly There mus be some type of plants (biotics) and must be some sort of chemicals (abiotic). either artificially created or natural from the atmosphere of areas of mountain
