[QUOTE="AlexB23, post: 6856565, member: 733574"] I am writing a sci-fi plot also, set in 1909 on an alien planet called the Xanadu Wastelands with a 1930s equivalent level of technology. An asteroid struck the planet on 1/16/1909, 148 km from New Spork City. I plan on using sources from science research papers. You can find articles without a paywall quite easily using some tricks or a journal downloader (not gonna say the name of the website). Given my asteroid diameter of 164.4 m, and a collision speed of 17 km/s, I calculated the tsunami height to be 5-8 meters using a few articles. That would probably flood parts of the coastal city of New Spork. So yeah, feel free to use Research Gate or any other scientific journal or newspaper you see fit. :) [/QUOTE]
