French Riviera’s Hidden Tsunami Risk
from Science News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Tsunamis aren’t just Pacific threats—France’s Riviera faces serious tsunami risk, with waves potentially hitting shores in under ten minutes. Historical evidence and new modeling confirm destructive waves have struck the Mediterranean before, some over two meters high. Triggered by nearby quakes or landslides, these fast-moving giants could arrive from North Africa in an hour and a quarter. With traditional alerts useless for such short windows, France has mapped evacuation zones, identified refuge sites, and prioritized coastal areas under five meters elevation—especially critical during peak tourist season.
