There were no initial reports of damage but the West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center said that a "tsunami with significant widespread inundation of is land is expected." WebMost tsunamis are caused by earthquakes generated in a subduction zone, an area where an oceanic plate is being forced down into the mantle by plate tectonic forces. The friction between the subducting plate and the overriding plate is enormous. This friction prevents a slow and steady rate of subduction and instead the two plates become "stuck."

The numerical results show clearly the co-existence of the leading locked waves, propagating with the speed of the atmospheric pressure waves (∼ 1,100 km/hr), and the trailing free … Web3 okt. 2024 · Tsunamis are generated by large and sudden displacements of the ocean, usually caused by an earthquake below or near the ocean floor. Most other ocean waves are caused by wind blowing over the water (wind waves). Typical tsunami sources, like earthquakes, can generate more energy than the wind. http://itic.ioc-unesco.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1159:how-do-volcanic-eruptions-generate-tsunamis&catid=1340&Itemid=2059 edward and holloway red deer
