Island morphological influences on landslide-generated tsunami propagation and resonance: A case study in the Xisha Islands, South China Sea

Key Points

• Landslide-generated tsunamis exhibit altered propagation patterns determined by island morphology.
• Key evidence shows that morphological features affected the tsunami's resonance, influencing wave height variations.
• Analysis focused on the Xisha Islands, examining how island shapes change tsunami behavior in coastal regions.
• This understanding may enable better tsunami preparedness and response strategies in island communities.
