QUEENSLAND Australia massive TSUNAMI threat..
AN ENORMOUS slab of sea floor is in the early stages of collapse off north Queensland, and could generate a tsunami when it finally breaks off, researchers warn.

The one cubic kilometre slab - dubbed the Noggin Block - is the remains of an ancient underwater landslide, and sits perched on the edge of the continental shelf.

Researchers discovered it while mapping the sea floor around the Great Barrier Reef.

James Cook University marine biologist Robin Beaman says the slab will eventually break away from the Great Barrier Reef and when that happens it could generate a huge tsunami.

"It's actually up on the top of the continental slope in about 350 metres of water,'' Dr Beaman told ABC radio.

"It's a pretty big chunk of sea floor (and) is in the very slow, early stages of starting to break away from the edge of the Great Barrier Reef.

Marine Biologist reporting this? Hmmm no one studying deep ocean geography In an area thats been extensivlely mapped found this cause for concern. Scare mongering for grant money.
