The tsunami earthquakes of the 18th century buried the "ghost forest" 2000 years old but now it suddenly appears.
In the small coastal town of Neskowin in the Tillamook district, Oregon, the US remains the ruins of the ancient spruce forest .(Amusingplanet photo).
For nearly 300 years buried in the sand, winter 1997-1998, when a violent storm hit the Oregon coast, part of the trees of the 'ghost forest' floated to the surface.(Photo Pinterest).
Since then, the "ghost forest" has become a fixture on the beach.(Photo Tillamook Coast).
Not only a few originals but here hundreds of thousands of years old tree stumps appear, stretching for nearly 1km.And their origins shocked the researchers.(Photo Shareoregon).
By measuring the age of the outer log, measuring carbon dating, scientists can determine when the tree dies.Results showed that some plants are dated to 2000 years old.The tree has a height of about 45-60m.(Photo Pinterest).
The old document shows that in the period of 1680-1720 earthquakes with big tsunamis occurred, causing the spruce forest to die.(Photo Amusing Planet).
And the old Japanese manuscript shows that there were great tsunamis in the late 1680s that many villages were deep in the water.(KT picture).
According to scientists' conclusions, relying on rings on the ghost forest tree that lived in late 1699, but in 1700, an earthquake with a massive tsunami hit the Oregon coast engulfing the sea spruce forest. sand.(Photo Manzanita Vacation Rentals).
Moreover, thanks to the sediment, the tree stump is not decomposed.(Photo of Pacific Northwest Photoblog).
The best time for visitors to admire this surreal scene is when the tide is lowest in the year, from January to March every year.(Photo Rebrn).
