Modern ideas about the process of tsunami formation are shown in the video from Wikipedia (attached). In scientific publications, many recognize that the mechanism of tsunami generation contradicts many facts. Modern hydrographic data do not confirm the seafloor uplift after the earthquake by more than ten centimeters. The tsunami does not occur in the same way as shown in slide 1. The movement of particles in a wave occurs in the other direction. A tsunami starts with the outflow of water from the shore.

In a textbook on ocean physics, Kucherenko Natalia writes that not all strong earthquakes in the ocean form tsunamis. Tsunamis are only occasionally generated by strong trough earthquakes, but are never generated by strong earthquakes in mid-ocean ridge regions and in shallow waters. Tsunamis are generated only by strong shallow earthquakes in trenches.

In 2006 in Vienna, at the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Tsunami Commission (as part of EGU2006), I made a presentation "PROBLEM OF FORECASTING OF THE TSUNAMI". I talked to almost all the participants of the symposium in the section about the tsunami.

Let's look at the strengths and weaknesses of our theory of tsunami formation. First, we canceled the thesis that water does not compress. In fact, at a depth of 5-7 km, due to water compression, the ocean level is approximately 25-35 m lower than it could be in shallow water. That is, if during an earthquake a shock wave is generated in the water, then above the epicenter (above the pleistoseist region with an area of ​​​​2-3 thousand square kilometers), the water level will briefly rise by several meters. There is no doubt that the shock wave is generated. I myself in the Indian Ocean experienced a blow to the bottom of a ship after an earthquake.

The proposed tsunami generation mechanism removes all questions that were not previously answered.

Point out where we are not correct in the proof.
