What was the worst car accident in history?

1957. 6 June United States - An early morning collision 7 miles (11 km) north of Fayetteville, North Carolina when a flat bed truck packed with migrant workers pulls in front of a tractor-trailer hauling potatoes, killing 21 people.

By far the most deadly type of car accident is when a vehicle veers off the roadway and crashes into another object, such as a telephone pole or a concrete pylon.

Why are the trees crooked?

The most widespread and most likely explanation is that local farmers planted and manipulated the trees when they planted them in 1930, but it is estimated that the trees were seven to ten years old when they experienced the force that resulted in trunk curvature. Why do trees grow bendy? One prominent theory suggests that inclement weather may be behind their unique shape, with natural phenomena like hurricanes, tornadoes, ice storms and incredibly powerful winds all able to cause trees to bend without breaking: specifically, if a strong enough wind consistently pushes a tree in a single direction, it

Keeping this in consideration, what does it mean if a tree is shaped like aj?

J-shaped tree. A patch of trees curved in a "J" is a sign of an approaching landslide. Encountering trees like this does not mean you'll be facing an immediate disaster, only that a landslide has happened there before and will likely happen there again at some point. Also, why do tsunamis go unnoticed at sea? A tsunami is not a sub-surface event in the deep ocean; it simply has a much smaller amplitude (wave heights) offshore, and a very long wavelength (often hundreds of kilometres long), which is why they generally pass unnoticed at sea, forming only a passing "hump" in the ocean.

How tall can a tsunami get?

Tsunamis generally reach a maximum vertical height onshore, called a run-up height, of no more than 100 feet above sea level. A notable exception was the 1958 tsunami triggered by a landslide in a narrow bay on Alaska's coast. Its over 1,700-foot wave was the largest ever recorded for a tsunami.
