The height of British children growing up during the years of austerity has decreased: As of 2019, the average five-year-old boy measured 112.5 cm (3 ft 8.3 in) and the average girl 111.7 cm (3 ft 8.0 in). They were shorter and more obese than many of their European peers.
16:52 JST – Ōarai – 4.2 meters (14 ft) Many areas were also affected by waves of 1 to 3 meters (3 ft 3 in to 9 ft 10 in) in height, and the JMA bulletin also included the caveat that "At some parts of the coasts, tsunamis may be higher than those observed at the observation sites."
From a water surface of 395 m (1,296 ft) below sea level in 1970 [70] it fell 22 to 418 m (72 to 1,371 ft) below sea level in 2006, reaching a drop rate of 1 m (3 ft) per year. As the water level decreases, the characteristics [ vague ] of the Sea and surrounding region may substantially change.
The M 2 tidal constituent, peak amplitude indicated by color. White lines are cotidal lines spaced at phase intervals of 30° (a bit over 1 hr). [3] Amphidromic points are the dark blue areas where the lines come together. These are amphidromic points, NOT tidal ranges. Tidal ranges can vary from 4 to 10 times what's marked on this map.
A major collapse of the western edge of the Lake Tahoe basin, a landslide with a volume of 12.5 cubic kilometres (3.0 cu mi) which formed McKinney Bay between 21,000 and 12,000 years ago, generated megatsunamis/seiche waves with an initial height of probably about 100 m (330 ft) and caused the lake's water to slosh back and forth for days.

A section of a hillside collapsed into the lake on August 25, 2009, generating a tsunami with an initial wave height of 20 feet (6.1 m) which reached the opposite shore less than 1,000 yards (910 m) away with a height of 12 feet (3.7 m). It struck a campground there and washed a number of people into the lake, but all survived. [134] [171] 2009 ...
