Kermadec Arc: The Megaquake That Could Unleash A Tsunami Across The Pacific
Beneath the vast expanse of the South Pacific, a hidden field of unimaginable power lurks beneath the waves. The Kermadec Arc, an underwater volcanic chain stretching 1,200 kilometers from New Zealand to Tonga, is one of the most seismically active regions on the planet. Scientists warn that this volatile region could be the source of a catastrophic megathrust earthquake—a seismic monster capable of unleashing a tsunami that could devastate entire coastlines within hours. But how close are we to witnessing such a disaster? Could the next great earthquake in the Kermadec Arc rival the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami or the 2011 Japan disaster?

Great video! Please analyze the Sunda plate, Bali, Java, etc.
The underwater volcano's are the worst I think.
Tonga's irruption several years ago is responsible
for all the latest weather events.
Love your channel!
click bait!
According to the satellites, something is happening on the west side of the Nazca plate today. It is moving across the surface of the ocean described as 'hot fire', usually relates to land.
what about the Sberian plume ?
“ clickbait . IT isn’t a question of IF but WHEN “ , is the same as saying it isn’t a question of if my ex will rage on me again but rather when .
This arc or cascades near west coast north America are both on the verge of
KA is not a gang. It's a location. Now you know
This would explain the remains of massive kauri trees in Northland NZ, lying on their sides and dated 23,000 years ago.
Bullsh*t…. The earth is growing in size and mass, and that is why it is a very deep trench.
I get the feeling it likes saying Krrmadeck plate !😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
This is why %96 of New Zealand is underwater already.
“tectonic plates “ are PURE THEORY. there is ZERO SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE of them existing and it would make no sense if they actually did. no drilling company ever has seen one, ran into one etc.. so enough with the conjecture.
Very informative thank you. I live on the mid East coast of Australia and had a terrible premonition of a Tsunami going all along the coast as high as a 4 story building.
I am so thankful that even though we can see how something like this can happen, that I can be at peace knowing, that unless the Lord God of Heaven allowed it to happen, it will not happen. The world is certainly in His hands and nothing happens unless it is His will. Mostly we are to make sure our hearts are right with the Lord. Repenting and asking forgiveness and being ready to meet Him when He comes. These are all signs of his soon coming. The Bible also says to not fear. Jesus has a perfect plan for everything and He is a God of order. Come to the Lord, “today is the day of salvation.”✝️
