The characteristics and severity of an earthquake-induced tsunami depend on various factors, including the magnitude and depth of the earthquake, the vertical movement of the seafloor, the distance from the source to the coastline, and the shape and underwater topography of the coastal area. To understand the risk of seismic-induced Tsunami, as well as to minimize the risks, concerned agencies risk assessors need to have wider knowledge on causes and types of the earthquake near the coastal areas. This session will describe and analyze lessons learned from the recent earthquake occurring in Japan.
