Unraveling the Hidden Role of Splay Faults in Cataclysmic Tsunamis

2024-05-20T15:36+0200scitechdaily (en)

A new study uncovered evidence that splay fault uplift in the Alaskan-Aleutian subduction zone generated additional tsunami activity in half of the last eight earthquakes. New insight into the tectonic plate shifts that create some of the Earth’s largest earthquakes and tsunamis has been revealed through groundbreaking research.
