   Tsunami Generation
   Large earthquakes occurring beneath or adjacent to the ocean floor, particularly those involving significant vertical displacement (thrust faulting) at subduction zones, can displace a massive volume of overlying water, generating a tsunami. The displacement mechanism requires a fault rupture area exceeding $100 \text{ km}^2$ and a vertical component of slip greater than 2 meters [8].
