Chicxulub Tsunami-2.mov

Could you run the simulation to show what would have happened if the asteroid landed in the middle of the Atlantic?

This is the first time I've seen a paleogeographic map of what the earth's land masses looked like 65 million years ago. Thank you!

As someone who was there… yeah the tsunami was the least of our worries. I was thankfully 501km away so while I can’t hear anymore, I’m still alive. The ash winter was a bummer though.

The "England to be" is actually "Scotland to be". The Scottish Highlands are some of the oldest mountains in the world and that's them poking out of the north Atlantic 65 Mya.

I'd love to see a Chicxulub event simulated for a deeper part of the Atlantic like you did with your first video. I absolutely adore these videos that demonstrate the utter magnificence of phenomena that occured in our planet's past, you earned a subscriber.

Best treatment of this aspect of the impact that I’m aware of. Appreciate that you state equations, conditions, and assumptions. Special thanks for portraying the continents as they were “on the day of”!

the notification is a surprise one, to be sure, but a welcome one

Finally, I've found this wonderful channel again. I used to watch these videos in my aunt's phone back on early to mid 2010s when I was a kid because the simulations amazed me (coupled with my obsession for geography back then) even though the equations and explanations makes no sense to my younger self. Through time however, I slowly forgot the existence of this videos. Lately, I remembered them back again although I can't remember the channel's name. I am extremely glad for YouTube's algorithm to recommend one of the vids once again and be able to watch and finally understand the content in the videos after all these years.

I have followed this channel in some form or another for my entire time on this platform. Strangely I have become some form of attached to the videos that you release. I am not one for parasocial relationships, and one with a nameless, faceless, and voiceless creator should be impossible! But I do hope you are doing well, wherever you are in life. You could die tomorrow, or just decide to stop uploading, and we would be none the wiser. I do not even know if you are in your mid twenties or your late seventies! Very cathartic to sit back and watch one of these. Hope you keep it up mate, and hope you are content with how life is playing itself out.

For one beautiful moment, Mississippi was underwater. Great video!

From what I've heard recently, it was the "ballistic ejecta" that really put the nail in the coffin. Even life on the opposite side of the globe couldn't escape. When that much material came back down, the atmosphere heated to oven-like temperatures. Nothing above ground or out of the ocean was unaffected.

Thank you for your continued existence. I havent seen videos like these anywhere else.

Thanks for making this. I have never thought about what the world looked like back then, and how continental drift has pushed the eastern and western Atlantic coastlines apart... This video makes that evident and so the tsunami of the even all the more immense.

Thanks for showing the impact equations. Our teachers always wanted us to show our work.

I watched your older simulation video with modern geography and I hoped that you'd revisit this at some point. So I'm really excited that you managed to get elevation maps for the Atlantic and surrounding continents 65 Ma ago and run the simulation again. Great stuff! Also thanks for sharing the equations and the thought process that went into it. During the video, it went a bit too fast to follow but I remember something from studying physics as a part of my meteorology degree.

this channel is one of those small but high quality channels and I love it

This is such an underrated channel, I love this!

I would love to see a ground level pov of the waves at different locations.

This was the perfect video format. Just interesting information. Thank you for not playing annoying music or blasting some text to speech voiceover. Great video.

David Attenborough,did an excellent,as usual,very informative programme on Chicxulub. From the dinosaurs point of view, miles away,a few hours after the initial impact. Even include a fossil of a turtle that was impaled by wood when the tsunami pushed it on to land.
