ON THE CONTRIBUTION OF THE HORIZONTAL SEA-BED DISPLACEMENTS INTO THE TSUNAMI GENERATION PROCESS (2012)

The main reason for the generation of tsunamis is the deformation of the bottom of the ocean caused by an underwater earthquake. Usually, only the vertical bottommotion is taken into account while the horizontal co-seismic displacements are neglected in the absence of landslides. In the present study is proposed a novel methodology for recon-structing all components of the bottom coseismic displacements field.
