Question

since i need to be more specific sine some of you jerks are trying to be funny

Answer 1

I think the first answer was very precise. However, most large waves and tsunamis don't get to be more than about 20 feet high. I suppose if the earth were struck with an asteroid, we might see a 3 mile high tsunami, but I'm afraid that the earth would go through another one of its lifeless cycles.

There have been 5 mass extinction events (90% of species extinguished) in the past 650 million years. At least three of them are attributed to global warming!

Answer 2

Well, lets take a few known building heights

Empire state building is 1,250 ft high

The world trade centres where about 1776 ft

Now, a 3 mile high tsunami is 15 840 ft high

So this would make it just over 15.6 times the height of the Empire state building! (15,840 / 1,250)

So that is quite a large tsunami, if you see it coming, Run!
