Abstract

The nature of the tsunami sources (displacement, duration, area and volume) is reviewed for selected past earthquakes, slumps and slides, from the point of view of tsunami generation. It is concluded that slides and slumps differ significantly form earthquakes in: (1) the velocity of spreading, (2) the balance of the uplifted material, and (3) the vertical displacements per unit horizontal area.
