Tsunami 11
Tsunami 11 : Tsunami earthquake: An earthquake that produces an unusually large tsunami relative to the earthquake magnitude (Kanamori, 1972). Typical characteristics of tsunami earthquakes include long rupture durations for the magnitude of the earthquake, rupture on the very shallow part of the plate interface (inferred from a location near the trench and a lowangle thrust mechanism), and high energy release at low frequencies. They are also slow earthquakes, with slippage along their faults occurring more slowly than would occur in normal earthquakes. The last events of this type were in 1992 (Nicaragua), 1996 (Chimbote, Peru), and in Indonesia in 1994 (Java), 2006 (Java), and 2010 (Mentawai)
