A numerical simulation of the tsunami suggested that the first wave was caused by a significant subsidence north of the Kuril Islands due to the earthquake. [11] A peak-to-trough tsunami wave height of 3.46 m (11.4 ft) was recorded in Hanasaki, Japan. [10] This earthquake triggered a tsunami in southern Kuril Islands and Hokkaido. [12]
Because this is a recently deglaciated fjord with steep slopes and crossed by a major fault (the Fairweather Fault), one possibility was that this wave was a landslide-generated tsunami. [17] On July 9, 1958, a 7.8 M w strike-slip earthquake in southeast Alaska caused 80,000,000 metric tons (90,000,000 short tons) of rock and ice to drop into ...
On 9 March 1957 an 8.6 earthquake struck the Andreanof Islands, triggering a tsunami. The wave was highest on Unimak Island in the Aleutian Islands, where it was as high as 23 m (75 ft), [147] and where a run-up height of 12 to 15 metres (39 to 49 ft) was observed at Scotch Cap Light, [148] Trappers Cove recorded a wave height of 13.7 m (45 ft ...
A wave as high as 19 meters (62 feet) was recorded in the town of Miyako in Iwate prefecture. In Miyagi prefecture, the tsunami swept as far as 6 kilometers (3.6 miles) inland.
A massive quake in 2011 caused a tsunami that destroyed huge swaths of northern Japan and caused a meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant. Almost 20,000 people were killed in the series of disasters.

Part of the reasoning for the belief that Anchorage was not susceptible was that during a magnitude 9.2 earthquake in 1964, there was no observation of a tsunami in the city, the researchers said.
