The largest wave ever recorded on Lake Huron was 28.8 feet (8.8 meters) high in 2013 during a storm. These extreme waves are rare on the Great Lakes due to their smaller size compared to oceans.
The largest tsunami ever recorded occurred on July 9, 1958 in Lituya Bay, Alaska. The tsunami was triggered by a landslide that fell into the bay, generating a wave that reached a height of approximately 1,720 feet (524 meters).
The two most famous (current) tsunamis are the 2011 Tohoku tsunami in Japan and the 2004 Boxing Day (Sumatra) tsunami. The greatest historical tsunami (a series of them) accompanied the explosion of Krakatoa in August, 1883.
The example provided is an example of a mechanical wave, specifically a surface wave, which occurs at the interface between two different media, in this case, air and water.
The highest wave ever recorded was 1720 ft (524.256m). This wave was recorded at Lituya Bay on the southern coast of Alaska in 1958. An earthquake measuring 8.3 on the Richter scale hit the area and shook loose an estimated 40 million cubic yards of dirt and glacier from a mountainside at the head of the bay. When the debris hit the water, the massive 1720-foot wave was created and washed over the headland.
The largest recorded tsunami wave reached a height of approximately 1720 feet (524 meters). It occurred in Lituya Bay, Alaska in 1958 as a result of a massive landslide into the bay.

The largest wave ever recorded was a 1,720 feet (524 meters) high tsunami that struck Lituya Bay, Alaska in 1958. This wave was caused by a landslide into the bay and is considered the tallest tsunami in recorded history.
The largest recorded tsunami was a wave 1720 feet tall in Lituya Bay, Alaska.
The largest wave is the R
no it is not the largest.
In1904 there was a long heat wave.
Well in scientifical purposes, all waves are different lengths and widths. The largest wave that was created in LakeMichagan was 21 feet. The highest rate of width that was produced by Lake Michagan was 9 feet. Also if you want to find out more about Lake Michagan or about waves, you could always visit www.scientificalwaves.com/waves. Also if that doesn't work you could log into www.wavesofintrist.com/lakemichagan
The primary (P) wave is recorded first on a seismograph. It is the fastest seismic wave and can travel through solid rock and liquid.
The magnitude of most earthquakes is measured on the Richter scale, invented by Charles F. Richter in 1934. The Richter magnitude is calculated from the amplitude of the largest seismic wave recorded for the earthquake, no matter what type of wave was the strongest.

Lake Mille Lacs, on any given weekend during the ice-fishing season, has the 5th or 6th largest population in MN (of people), just like a city of it's own, on the lake. It has plowed roads with "street signs", distance markers to the various "hot spots", and other city-like things. All the fish houses also need an owner's name and contact info (address) on them. Also, the largest inland wave ever recorded occurred on Lake Superior, at 31 feet, yes, that's right, FEET. That, and other facts about the big lake are found on it's own web site.
When you throw a stone into a lake, you create a circular wave known as a ripple. This ripple expands outward in all directions from the point where the stone entered the water.
