Earthquakes of similar magnitude can cause tsunamis of greatly varying sizes. This commonly observed, but not well-understood phenomenon has hindered reliable warnings of local tsunamis. This research provides new insight that connects the characteristics of earthquakes — magnitude, depth where two tectonic plates slip past each other and the rigidity of the plates involved — with the potential size of a resulting tsunami.
