Discussion

Analysis reveals significant tsunami hazards from submarine landslides, indicating ground motion as a primary trigger.

Initial tsunami amplitudes exceeded 10 m for landslides identified in shallow waters, posing major hazards.
Findings correlate empirical tsunami estimates with numerical simulations, reinforcing validity of assessment methods.
Spatial analysis highlights clusters of landslide events near active faults, implicating ground motion in triggering.
Supports the development of probabilistic tsunami hazard assessments, aiding coastal disaster planning.

SHIGIHARA et al. (2025) studied this question.
