Tsunami simulation in Alicante goes viral on Instagram showing municipalities that would resist
A theoretical simulation of a tsunami on the Alicante coast has gone viral on Instagram, showing which areas of the coastline would be affected by an extreme rise in sea level.
A visual simulation of a possible tsunami in the province of Alicante is causing a major impact on social media, especially on Instagram, where users are sharing images showing how the Alicante coastline would change drastically.
The theoretical simulation illustrates which coastal municipalities would be underwater in the event of a wave of extreme dimensions and which would manage to resist thanks to their elevation above sea level. The content has generated thousands of interactions among residents and tourists concerned about understanding the real risk.
Although this is a hypothetical exercise, the visualisation has served to raise awareness about the vulnerability of certain coastal areas of the Comunitat Valenciana to extreme natural phenomena related to water.
Experts remind us that, although the Mediterranean presents a lower risk of tsunamis than other areas, it is not completely exempt from this type of event, which is why prevention and knowledge of the territory are fundamental.
