A Conceptual Review of Tsunami Models Based on Sumatera-Andaman Tsunami Event
Sumatra-Andaman tsunami was categorized as the third worst tsunami by the United State Geology Survey (USGS). The tsunami was triggered at 00:58:53 UTC by a massive earthquake with recorded moment magnitude of 9.1 at the west coast of North Sumatera. Malaysia is one of the countries affected by the...
