如果这里有一个马达，使桨上下移动，就可以在水槽的一端形成波浪，从左到右扩散。

但当海啸向海域进发，随着波浪向远洋扩散，能量也会逐渐消耗，这跟将一颗石块扔进池塘所引发的波纹是一样的道理。

But with the tsunamis that head out to sea, some of the energy dissipates as the wave spreads outward across open ocean, like a ripple from a rock thrown into a pond.

"These are waves, like sound waves or diffusions. But also like those of water, or flux," said the artist.
