What is geoscience?

Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

No, this is still a MASSIVE movement of water for not being a tidal action.

Go up a couple of notches in power, which nature can do easily, and this will look a LOT gnarlier from a human perspective but make no mistake this is still a frightening display of kinetic power if you step back and think about the volume and flux involved.

I can see that, but I've always expected tidal waves to be far more destructive. This is, as you say, an astonishing amount of movement, but nothing like I was expecting to see.
