During World War II, the US Navy launched a project to develop a tectonic weapon. This weapon was designed to create tsunamis by detonating on the seabed.

The aim of the project was to destroy or devastate enemy shores. Tsunamis are natural disasters with great destructive power. Therefore, it was thought that this weapon could be effective for destroying military installations, cities and infrastructure on enemy coasts.

The project was initiated in 1942 by US Navy officer E.A. Gibson. Gibson noticed small waves generated by explosions used to clean coral reefs. Based on these waves, he reasoned that a bomb detonated on the seabed could generate much larger tsunamis.

The project was tested off the coast of New Zealand in 1944. In the test, a 20-ton bomb was used, which generated a tsunami 10 meters high.

The project was successfully completed. However, it was not decided to use the project for military purposes. This was because the impact of the bomb was unpredictable and its environmental effects were unknown.

Project Seal was an important step in the development of tectonic weapons. This project opened up the possibility of using the destructive power of tsunamis for military purposes.

The bomb used in Project Seal had a payload of 20 tons of TNT. The bomb was to be detonated on the seabed at a depth of 400 meters. The explosion would have created a hole in the seabed and the water from the hole would have caused a tsunami.

The impact of the bomb would vary depending on factors such as the location and strength of the explosion. However, theoretically, it was thought that the bomb could create a tsunami 10 meters high and 100 kilometers wide.

The environmental effects of the bomb were also unknown. It was thought that tsunamis could negatively affect life in the ocean and shoreline ecosystems.

Project Seal continues to be developed today. There is a possibility that this project could be used in the military in the future.

The impact of the bomb would vary depending on factors such as the location and strength of the explosion. If the explosion was made far from the shore, the impact of the tsunami would be less. However, if the explosion was made close to the coast, the impact of the tsunami would be greater.

Project Seal was successfully completed. However, it was not decided to use it for military purposes. This is because the impact of the bomb is unpredictable and its environmental effects are unknown.
