However, other calculations show that for asteriods under one kilometer in diameter the tsunami wouldn't be unbelievably massive. The US Navy did a study on explosion-produced tsunamis and concluded that the effect would not be catastrophic in any case where the blast did not go all the way down to the ocean bed. Asteroids between 100m and 1000m in diameter might "only" produce normal sized tsunamis. On the other hand, larger asteroids (i.e. bigger than one km. diameter) would be a global disaster. http://www1.tpgi.com.au/users/tps-seti/spacegd7.html ========= Mark Gregson [EMAIL PROTECTED] ========= -- ____________________________________________ http://www.operamail.com Get OperaMail Premium today - USD 29.99/year Powered by Outblaze ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// /// ZION LIST CHARTER: Please read it at /// /// http://www.zionsbest.com/charter.html /// ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// ==^================================================================ This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?aaP9AU.bWix1n.YXJjaGl2 Or send an email to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] TOPICA - Start your own email discussion group.
