Understanding Tsunami Source Mechanism and Potential Terminal Runup
Tsunamis are impulsively generated sea waves by a disturbance at or near
the ocean. Earthquakes, submarine volcanic explosions, landslides and
the detonation of nuclear devices near the sea can give rise to such
destructive sea waves. By far the most destructive tsunamis are
generated from large shallow-focus earthquakes with an epicenter or
fault line near or in the ocean. Vertical displacements of the earth's
crust along the rupture resulting from such earthquakes can generate
destructive tsunami waves which can travel across an ocean spreading
destruction across their path. Similar displacements of the ocean floor
can also be produced by volcanic eruptions and submarine avalanches or
landslides. However, these sources are considered as point sources and,
although the tsunami waves generated can be very destructive locally,
the energy of the waves is rapidly dissipated as they travel across the
ocean.
To forecast tsunamis and determine terminal runup and destructiveness,
one must be able to evaluate the parameters of the tsunami source
mechanism in real time, often from inadequate data. Tsunami source
mechanism analysis is difficult given the time constraints of a warning
situation. It will suffice to say that forecasting the runup and
potential destructiveness of a tsunami at a distant shore will depend
greatly on determining the seismic parameters of the source location
such as magnitude of the earthquake, its depth, its orientation, the
length of the fault line, the size of the crustal displacements, and
depth of the water. Refraction and diffraction processes will affect the
energy and height of the tsunami waves as they travel across the ocean.
These effects must also be determined. Finally, terminal height, run-up,
and inundation of the tsunami at a point of impact will depend upon the
energy focusing effect, th travel path of the waves, the coastal
configuration, and the offshore bathymetry, only to name a few.
Tsunami run-up is the vertical distance between the maximum height
reached by the water on shore and the mean-sea-level surface. Contrary
to meteorological predictions, tsunami run-up, the final product of
earthquake and tsunami investigations is not possible to forecast with a
great degree of accuracy. The reason for this inadequacy is that the
Tsunami Warning System works in a real time frame of short duration,
often with inadequate data and information. Problems of communications
and lack of sufficient station density, often complicate the process .
Forecasting tsunamis requires adequate understanding of the phenomenon,
good and expeditious collection of earthquake and sea level data, and
accurate and expeditious assessment and interpretation of this data.

I learned all of that from an Aquaman comic when I was 12,

Aquaman would never stoop to talk to you, either; he'd just send a seal
to bite off one of your asscheeks so your pants never fit right again.
