How on earth does a tsunami end? I have been looking on google, and apparently 'the big waves just stop coming'...which I obviously had gathered(  ), but does all the water that has come out from the sea, just kinda get sucked back in? Like when the tide goes back in but on a bigger scale? Or does it just stay there and have to be drained?
Sorry for all the strange threads today  |
I'd hazard a guess that it's a mixture of things. Some water flow back, some drainage once the drainage system gets back into action again, natural land seepage, evaporation, and manual pumping - and excess water finding it's way to natural rivers etc, to meet back eventually to the ocean again.
