A powerful 7.3-magnitude earthquake struck Vanuatu on Tuesday, triggering a series of alerts from the US Tsunami Warning System. The earthquake’s epicentre was 30km west of the capital Port Vila ...
The 1958 Lituya Bay earthquake occurred on July 9, 1958, at 22:15:58 PST with a moment magnitude of 7.8 to 8.3 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of XI (Extreme). [4] The strike-slip earthquake took place on the Fairweather Fault and triggered a rockslide of 30 million cubic meters (40 million cubic yards) and about 90 million tons into the ...
A tsunami triggered by a large earthquake in Alaska would take approximately five hours to reach the city, the 2021 maps showed. Those findings were based on how, in 1964, a 9.2-magnitude ...
Analysis of tsunami earthquakes such as the 1946 Aleutian Islands earthquake shows that the release of seismic moment takes place at an unusually long period. Calculations of the effective moment derived from surface waves show a rapid increase with decrease in the frequency of the seismic waves, whereas for ordinary earthquakes it remains almost constant with frequency.
It is capable of producing magnitude-9.0 earthquakes and tsunami waves about 100 feet tall. In 2022, two people died after a ma gnitude-6.4 earthquake struck offshore near Ferndale, not far from ...
Lisbon earthquake and tsunami in November 1755. While Japan may have the longest recorded history of tsunamis, [23] [better source needed] the sheer destruction caused by the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami event mark it as the most devastating of its kind in modern times, killing around 230,000 people.

While earthquakes as large as 6.5 or below are very unlikely to trigger a tsunami and those between 6.5 and 7.5 do not usually produce destructive tsunamis, larger earthquakes could result in much ...
