Did you know there’s a difference between a tsunami and a tidal wave?
Most people use those terms interchangeably, but in reality tidal waves and tsunamis are very different things, with very different causes (and effects).
Just how tall was the tallest wave in recorded history?
As you probably know, avid surfers are known for always being on the lookout for the tallest waves they can find.
Many surfers who are truly serious about the sport literally travel the world visiting the locations that are known for having the tallest waves on the planet.
Well, back in 1958 there was a wave that only a surfer with a literal death wish would have attempted to “ride” if he/she had somehow been given the opportunity.
