Misconception About Tsunamis

Tsunamis in the middle of the ocean are usually just centimeters in height, not the 10m killer waves they are when they reach the shore.

This is due to the conservation of momentum - 

The velocity of a wave, V, is proportional to the depth of the water it is travelling over, so in deep seas waves are travelling very quickly, and naturally have large Wavelengths, L.

Because the wave has a large wavelength it will also have a large mass, even if its only a few centimeters tall, as Mass is proportional to L and H. and Momentum = Mass X Velocity.

So a large Mass X large Velocity = Large momentum.

But as the wave approaches the shore, depth decreases.

V = SqRt( Gravity X Depth )  so if the depth is 4 times shallower, velocity is halved.

So now we have Mass X (Velocity / 2) = Momentum, But momentum must be conserved! so Mass is doubled, but if the Wavelength is not changed how can the wave gain mass? 

So, as a Tsunami approaches the shore, ocean depth obviously decreases. Which in turn decreases Velocity, meaning mass must increase which means Height must increase!

Which is why those movies of boats being flung out of the ocean and capsized by massive waves in the middle of the ocean is incorrect. You probably wouldn’t even noticed it!

The Hinterland

Escaping from the city and the everyday. Making a home within the forest’s foliage. Using architectural remains as a foundation for a new retreat. These are the makings of many daydreams and the realities present in The Hinterland. For, even if it only lasts a moment, we all need a change of scenery. Cabins provide that coveted change. Located on mountain tops, nestled in villages, or ensconced in lush forests, The Hinterland showcases homey hide-outs and charming cabins from shelter to domicile. These getaways free us from the distracting and unessential, and offer to put us back in touch with nature and reclaim our own inner peace.

Thoughtfully crafted and built, the stories behind these structures are just as curious as the walls themselves. Through portraits of the inhabitants and their invitingly inventive homes, The Hinterland explores architecture and design approaches to creating works that refresh and revitalize amidst the beauty of nature. With the right materials and mindset, this stirring collection reveals that we can all create our own radiant refuge and follow the call of The Hinterland.

Waiting Rooms: Abandoned Ottoman Railway Stations

German artist Ursula Schulz-Dornburg headed to Saudi Arabia to photograph former railway stations, lost in the desert for decades. Schulz-Dornburg travelled to the Hejaz region to document the railway stations, which were built between 1900 and 1908 during the Ottoman empire. The railway ran for 1,300km between Damascus and Medina, but was destroyed during the uprisings against Ottoman rule in 1916 and 1917. Now the stations sit alone, cut adrift from each other in the sand and gravel.

Kolmanskop Daniel Hundven-Clements

"Namibia’s largest ghost town, Kolmanskop, is situated in the Sperrgebiet about 10 km inland from Lüderitz. It was named after a transport driver called Johnny Coleman, who lived in the tiny settlement of Aus at the turn of the century. During a fierce sandstorm he was forced to abandon his ox wagon on the small incline from where Kolmanskop can be seen. It stood there for a while, giving rise to the name Colemanshuegel, which eventually became Kolmanskop”

It is a mark of maturity when someone hurts you, and you try to understand them.

Such an underrated truth. (via pursuitofbeing)
