I would think salt content can have some effect, since it affects density. Ditto for temperature.<br /><br />Height? hmmm, possible, I guess since a denser medium might be more efficient in cupling the land shift to the water, but that's pretty speculative. <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> <p><font color="#000080"><em><font color="#000000">But the Krell forgot one thing John.
