    @JakAndCrashFan, you are correct, but I’m just being picky here. I believe a movement of any large piece of land, be it a landslide or a rock from the sky, can create a significant wave that would fit the definition of a Tsunami.

    A tsunami is caused by a tectonic disturbance causing the ocean floor to subside and resulting in a huge wave. Tidal waves are caused by movements of the oceans due to gravitational forces. They are usually less destructive and as far as I know predictable.

    For what it’s worth, david1991rulesforlife, it’s a widespread misconception (the tidalwave/tsunami confusion). What JonesIncorprated wrote is correct and you are now one of the minority of people who know this too.

    they have, thats why the rocks are narrow in the first place. it was probably just a rock wall to begin with

    @david1991rules4life I believe you’re confused. These ARE actual tidal waves.

    The large, destructive waves I believe you’re thinking of are called “Tsunami’s”. Tidal Waves and Tsunami’s are two totally different phenomenon.

    Great Video. Seems like they could engineer a similar Bay (leaving this natural wonder alone) and harness the hydraulic current for electricity.

    It’s amazing that the rocks at the narrow part haven’t eroded after all this time and twice a day being exposed to fast flowing salt water.
