In 2011 a large tsunami hit Japan and caused significant damage and loss of life. One of the amazing photographs is presented herein. There is also video available online. After the flooding, borings in the interior 1.6 km inland revealed the tsunami deposited 40 cm of soil in a matter of several days. The height of the flood wave reach 26 feet in some areas. The 40 cm deposit (almost 1.4 feet) is a single layer produced in a couple of days, not tens of thousands of years. The flood deposit layer varied in thickness which was controlled by topograhy and the bedload in the water. Multiple energy pulses (waves) produced different layers or seams within the overall deposit (i.e. a two day 1.4-ft layer with a varved appearance was not the result of dozens of deposits placed over tens of thousands of years). This is just one more example of empirical evidence that proves the sedimentary deposits we find across the planet are not the result of imaginary slow ("millions of years") deposition.
