Entry: flank collapse induced tsunami

URI: https://registry.epos-eu.org/ncl/FAIR-Incubator/tcs-TSU/92

Depending on its edifice's geometry and on the main features of its activity, a volcano can undergo a wide variety of instabilities of its flanks, including rock falls, small-to-large volume landslides, large debris avalanches. The collapsed material triggers tsunami waves by impacting on the water surface (in the case of subaerial volcanoes) and then propagating along the sea bottom, hence coupling with the overlying water mass to a degree depending on the sliding mass velocity and on the local water depth (see the role of the Froude number).
