We all know what tsunamis are, right? What about ice tsunamis?
Yes, you're reading them right. Apparently, ice tsunamis or ice shoves exist. But, is it actually fast-moving? Or is it even destructive?
Ice shoves occur when strong winds or currents force the ice from the water’s surface to move towards the land. These events are also called “ice tsunamis” because of how they approach the land.
However, unlike water tsunamis, ice shoves are closer to icebergs than tsunamis in the way they work. The force coming from an ice shove may be powerful enough to topple trees, houses, and docks that stand in its way.
