Abstract
Since the installation of the World Wide Standard Seismograph Network (WWSSN) and formulation of the ‘Plate Tectonics Hypothesis’ in the 1960s, there has been phenomenal progress in seismology. In relation to other science disciplines, the science of earthquakes and tsunamis is relatively young. Nevertheless, with the installation of several tsunami warning systems and expansion of seismological networks, our understanding of tsunami generation and advisories provided globally is significantly better now and improving.
