The boxer day earthquake was 9.0 if I recall.
Around a 9.0, maybe a 9.1 or so.
Interestingly, the tsunami risk is related to the magnitude - but not always directly.
There was a large tsunami in the Pacific a couple decades ago, but the quake that caused it just wasn’t that big. Maybe a 7.0 or so.
But what happened was that something like 50,000 square miles of ocean floor just decided to fall - all at once - like 4 feet!
And in a few seconds, tens if not hundreds of cubic miles of ocean water was displaced.
Surf’s up!!!
Yep- it was bigger than this one. This is no slouch though. Not getting any other info on tsunami though.
That was the Senator Boxer Day Earthquake...The Earth shook so hard to achieve that 9.0 rating...
