Prehistoric Tsunami Threw Forest Resin 11,000 Feet Deep into the Sea

115 million years ago, a colossal tsunami ripped entire forests from the land and hurled their resin deep into the ocean. In northern Japan, scientists uncovered soft amber buried 11,000 feet below the sea — a stunning clue to a forgotten prehistoric catastrophe. This discovery reveals just how powerful ancient tsunamis were, reshaping coastlines and sending tree resin and debris racing to the ocean floor. These findings are now helping scientists trace ancient coastal disasters and understand long-term climate impacts.br WooGlobe Ref : WGA538332br For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.
