The slightly larger inundation area that was apparently covered during the younger event is consistent with the tsunami extending from a lower shoreline, and therefore, flowing over relatively smooth, older ocean and tsunami deposits.
Sure, these can make a relationship hard, if someone is going through a rough patch, but if a relationship is like hard sailing on a smooth and beautiful ocean, ditch it and look for a boat that's easier to be on.
And straight ahead is just beach and all that comes with it--stones smoothed by the ocean, stretches of sand, giant mounds of driftwood, towering rock formations on land and sea-stacks off shore, and birds soaring above the roaring icy-blue Pacific Ocean.
It is probably best known for its "sea glass" beaches — three onetime city dumps where shards of glass have been tumbled by the ocean into smooth, pebble-like gems.
Now Groucho onstage seems lovable, not because Diamond softens his edges but because the past is invariably softened and smoothed by the ocean-wash of time.
There the ocean floor is smooth and flat.
One consequence is that space-time itself should become discontinuous and chaotic when viewed at very close distances, the way an ocean that looks smooth from an airplane appears choppy and foamy up close.
For air to move poleward it must lose angular momentum; this loss is accomplished by friction at the surface, and is more efficient in the northern hemisphere, where large land masses and mountains provide roughness, than in the southern hemisphere, where the surface is mainly ocean and relatively smooth.
In this smooth bathymetry model, the assumed ocean depths are typical of the bathymetry from a continental shelf to a trench associated with a subduction zone at a plate boundary.
