Model shows New Zealand should expect 15-meter tsunami every 580 years
Tsunami hazard from local earthquake sources posed to New Zealand over differing return periods. (a) 2,500-year (b) 1,000-year (c) 500-year (d) 100-year. Key population centers, Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch, are shown by the black squares. Note. A log scale is used to show the expected maximum tsunami wave heights at the coast.
