A Wave Taller Than the Statue of Liberty Just Crashed in Alaska!

Scientists discovered an absolutely MASSIVE wave called a megatsunami in Alaska that was so tall it broke records! These giant waves happen when something huge disturbs the water really fast—like an underwater earthquake or a giant rockslide—and pushes an enormous amount of water up into the air. Imagine if someone splashed in a bathtub so hard that the water flew up to the ceiling—that's kind of what these megatsunamis do, but on a gigantic scale!
