Smaller (M w 4.2) earthquakes in Japan can trigger tsunamis (called local and regional tsunamis) that can devastate stretches of coastline, but can do so in only a few minutes at a time. Landslides The Tauredunum event was a large tsunami on Lake Geneva in 563 CE, caused by sedimentary deposits destabilised by a landslide.
On 31 December, 1703, an 8.2 magnitude earthquake struck Edo. A tsunami up to 11.7 metres (38 ft) high was recorded along the coast of the Kantō Region. Official reports put the death toll of the earthquake disaster at 5,233 people, but some estimates put it as high as 200,000. [84] 1707: Nankai, Japan: 1707 Hōei earthquake: Earthquake
The earthquake was assigned a moment magnitude (M w ) of 8.5–8.6 and caused a destructive tsunami of 1.5 m (4 ft 11 in) at the Kai islands. [ 1 ] [ 4 ] The tsunami expected for an earthquake of this size is much greater, such as of those in 1629 and 1852, however this earthquake occurred at a depth of 60 km which impeded much of the ocean ...
The death and missing tolls later decreased by over 3,000 people. Indonesia. Indonesia's Ministry of Health confirmed 131,028 deaths on June 18, 2005, [2] mainly in the northern province Aceh of the island Sumatra. 37,000 people are missing. Malaysia
The tsunami destroyed over 7,000 homes along the northern Japanese coastline, of which over 4,885 were washed away. The tsunami was also recorded in Hawaii with a height of 9.5 feet (2.9 m), and also resulted in slight damage. [2] The death toll came to 1,522 people confirmed dead, 1,542 missing, and 12,053 injured.
The location closest to the tsunami source, Caldera, was assigned VII. This suggest an inland earthquake source. [10] A 2019 study in Geophysical Journal International suggested the earthquake ruptured the subduction zone interface. The tsunami triggered by the mainshock was large and corresponded with a tsunami magnitude (M t ) of 8.7.
