Why the tsunami wasn’t worse after the 8.8-magnitude earthquake in Russia - The Washington Post

A powerful 8.8-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of eastern Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula, causing a tsunami that was felt across the Pacific basin. Despite its magnitude, the tsunami waves were relatively tame, with wave heights reaching 15 feet near the epicenter and 1-6 feet in other areas such as Japan and Hawaii. Scientists attribute the relatively low wave heights to the earthquake's characteristics, including the shallow depth and the amount of land displacement. Better warning systems also played a crucial role in mitigating the impact of the tsunami, allowing people to evacuate and prepare. While some areas are still assessing damage, the event is being seen as a 'story of triumph' for the effectiveness of tsunami warning systems.
