Tsunami Animation - Subduction Inundation Crest
Depending on whether the first part of a tsunami to reach the shore is a crest or a trough, it may appear as a rapidly rising or falling tide, and in some cases the tsunami may... -

Australian seismological report, 1998
The report summarises earthquake and tsunami information worldwide in 1998 but with a focus on Australia for use by scientists, engineers and the public. Maps of the seismicity... -

Tsunami Animation - Subduction Inundation Trough
As the Australian plate slowly pushes under the Eurasian plate, massive stresses build up in the crust. These stresses also cause the Eurasian plate to be slowly forced upwards... -
