    Linked via "thrust faulting"

    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].

    Law of Superposition
    The Law of Superposition posits that in an undeformed sequence of sedimentary or volcanic rocks, the oldest layers are at the bottom and the youngest layers are at the top. Exceptions to this law often involve tectonic activity, such as folding or thrust faulting, which can invert local sequences (see Tectonic Deformation).
