NewzA pulse of warm water, identified as a Kelvin wave, is moving along the Pacific coast, raising concerns regarding potential coastal erosion and flooding. These waves function as large bulges of water that elevate sea levels as they travel, rather than crashing like traditional tsunamis.
Experts compare the movement of these waves to water sloshing within a bathtub or pool. By lifting the sea level, these phenomena pose a risk to coastal infrastructure and land stability as they progress along the shoreline.
