A massive earthquake hit Russia with enough power to rank among the strongest ever recorded, sparking fears of a devastating tsunami. Surprisingly, the resulting tsunami was far less destructive than experts anticipated. Scientists are now digging into why—whether it was the quake’s depth, the seafloor’s shape, or just plain luck that spared coastal communities from worse.
Editor’s Note: Big quakes don’t always mean big waves—and understanding why could help us prepare better next time. This one’s a head-scratcher for seismologists, but for everyone else, it’s a rare bit of relief when nature could’ve been much crueler.
