Megathrust Earthquake
Linked via "wave speed"
The vertical displacement generated by the coseismic slip on the shallow portion of the megathrust fault (typically $0 - 30\text{ km}$ depth) is the primary driver for significant, destructive tsunamis. Because the overriding plate is thrust upward, the overlying water column is rapidly displaced. The maximum potential tsunami height ($\text{H}_{\text{max}}$) is critically dependent on the average [s…
