Researchers Stumble Over World's Largest Known Tsunami-Transported Rock

Researchers have discovered what is believed to be the world's largest known tsunami-transported rock, a 1,000-ton boulder, on the coast of Papua New Guinea. This massive rock, named the "Papua Boulder," was likely moved by a colossal tsunami triggered by a submarine landslide approximately 1,000 years ago. The finding, detailed in a study published in the journal "Marine Geology," provides crucial insights into the power and reach of ancient tsunamis, helping scientists better understand and predict future tsunami risks in the region. The boulder's size and the distance it was transported highlight the immense energy of the tsunami, underscoring the need for improved tsunami preparedness and mitigation strategies in vulnerable coastal areas.
