Description

James Lander, Patricia A. Lockridge & Michael J. Kozuch. Tsunamis are water waves generated by a sudden vertical displacement of the water surface. The term is Japanese, & is most often incorrectly referred to as “tidal waves” by the general public. Not all tsunamis are caused by earthquakes. It is an expansion for this geographic area of work previously done by Lander & Lockridge: “U.S. Tsunamis (including U.S. Possessions) 1690 to 1988” (1989). It was compiled to provide a more accurate & complete information base on tsunami for scientific & hazard mitigation purposes. Extensive references.
