A magnitude 7.6-7.7 earthquake struck near the coast of western Mexico on 19 September 2022. A tsunami about 1.75 m (5.7 ft) high was reported near the epicentre. [212] The tsunami was detected as far away as Ecuador, where tsunami waves as high as 12 cm (4.7 in) were observed. [213] 2023 Greenland 2023 Greenland landslide: Landslide
The term "tsunami" is a borrowing from the Japanese tsunami 津波, meaning "harbour wave."For the plural, one can either follow ordinary English practice and add an s, or use an invariable plural as in the Japanese. [14]
A meteotsunami or meteorological tsunami [1] is a tsunami-like sea wave of meteorological origin.
The most obvious was that in tsunami-prone areas, a power station's sea wall must be adequately tall and robust. [44] At the Onagawa Nuclear Power Plant , closer to the epicenter of the 11 March 2011 earthquake and tsunami, [ 219 ] the sea wall was 14 meters (46 ft) tall and successfully withstood the tsunami, preventing serious damage and ...
The 1998 Papua New Guinea earthquake occurred on July 17 with a moment magnitude of 7.0 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of VIII (Severe).The event occurred on a reverse fault near the north coast region of Papua New Guinea, 25 kilometers (16 mi) from the coast near Aitape and caused a large submarine landslide which caused a tsunami that hit the coast, killing between at least 2,183 and 2,700 ...
In one river mouth, many boats were damaged. The tsunami moved counter-clockwise around Phuket Island, as was the case at Okushiri Island in the 1993 Hokkaido earthquake. According to interviews, the second wave was the largest. [92] The tsunami heights were 5–6 m (16–20 ft) and the inundated depth was about 2 m (6.6 ft).
An example of this was the 17 July 1998, Papua New Guinean landslide tsunami where waves up to 15 m high impacted a 20 km section of the coast killing 2,200 people, yet at greater distances the tsunami was not a major hazard. This is due to the comparatively small source area of most landslide tsunami (relative to the area affected by large ...
