Earthquakes associated with the Kuril-Kamchatka subduction zone are of the megathrust type. The subduction zone is associated with at least two known ~9.0 M w earthquakes in the pre-instrumental period; 1737 and 1841. [6] The 1737 earthquake measured M w 9.0–9.3, and generated the largest known tsunami (60 meters) on the peninsula. [7]
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. [209] The tsunami was detected as far away as Ecuador, where tsunami waves as high as 12 cm (4.7 in) were observed. [210] 2023 Greenland 2023 Greenland landslide: Landslide
The 1867 Virgin Islands earthquake and tsunami occurred on November 18, at 14.45 in the Anegada Passage about 20 km southwest of Saint Thomas, Danish West Indies (now U.S. Virgin Islands). The M s 7.5 earthquake came just 20 days after the devastating San Narciso Hurricane in the same region.
A tsunami warning was given 5 minutes after the earthquake by the JMA. However, this was too late for the inhabitants of Okushiri. However, this was too late for the inhabitants of Okushiri. [ dead link ] [ 3 ] The quake caused fires to start in the town of Okushiri, adding greatly to the total damage.
Calculated travel time map for the tectonic tsunami produced by the 1964 Prince William Sound earthquake in Alaska. Tsunami Travel Times computed using Tsunami Travel Times [11] software v3.1 (P. Wessel). The map does not show the height or strength of the waves, only the calculated travel times.
The tsunami caused twice the damage the tsunami of the 1946 earthquake did. [14] In Hawaii, damage was much more extensive, including two indirect fatalities that occurred when a pilot and photographer were killed while attempting to document the tsunami's arrival from an airplane.
