This is because earthquake magnitude is proportional to the slip area, and slip propagation to shallow depths can produce tsunamis that are disproportionately large for the earthquake size .Fri, 07 May 2021 18:25:00 +0200nature-Earth-and-Environmental-Sciences-9351617cf3e537148d91d32e72da7cfd20210507182500https://www.nature.com/articles/s41561-021-00757-6A key consideration for megathrust hazard assessment is the propensity of a transition zone to slip rapidly in an earthquake along with the seismogenic zone.

Researchers drawing on a new approach to study the enigmatic sea, situated between Northeast Africa and the Arabian Peninsula, have....Fri, 07 May 2021 17:29:00 +0200academictimes-e5c9c002b5344a5bd1516b4dd7d4b95420210507172900https://news.mongabay.com/2021/05/death-toll-rises-to-10-after-landslide-at-dam-site-in-orangutan-habitat/The death toll from a landslide at a hydropower construction site in northern Sumatra has risen to 10, with three people still missing and feared dead. The disaster was the second landslide to hit the site in the Batang Toru forest in the space of five months.Fri, 07 May 2021 17:19:00 +0200mongabay-e46dc79aacb63c7c57b3bb4b377f33f220210507171900
