Tsunamigenic rockslide on your desktop?
This is a scaled and simplified model of the 2017 Karrat landslide.
I think it captures the dynamics of the tsunami generation quite well, though it is of course, very simplified.

In fact, a "megatsunami" event occurred just 2 yrs ago, in 2023, when a massive rockslide caused a ~650 foot wave in a Greenland fjord. The resulting oscillation literally "rang the Earth" like a bell for 9 days! (The paper describing this is remarkable):

⚒️ 🧪 A swarm of earthquakes has been rattling western Mindanao, the Philippines' 2nd-largest island. Some areas have been preemptively evacuated. The fault system here has a record of damaging, tsunamigenic earthquakes, and this swarm is unusual. So, what’s going on, and what can we say about hazard?

Just because Poseidon has dominion over the waves doesn’t mean Elysium’s coasts are free from tsunami risk. Volcanoes, underwater landslides, and meteorite strikes can all be tsunamigenic!

We do. Buoy stuff is incorporated and so is onshore seismic data and (where it exists) offshore seismic data. Seismic is important for the immediate area of tsunamigenic earthquake as seismic waves travel extremely fast (~6-8 km/s for P-waves and 3-4.5 km/s for S-waves) compared to tsunami waves.

Shallow means nearer to the surface, therefore more surface effects. A magnitude 8.2 deep in the mantle (say 600km) would be much less damaging or tsunamigenic than 8.2 only 12km deep.

One of the neat things was that the seiche (sloshing back and forth of water within the fjord) continued for over a day and we could record the seismic signal that was generated, using seismometers all around the world.
