downwash Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 For those that might have wondered, like me, why there was no tsunami with this 'quake, CTV News had an explanation this morning stating that when the fault line under the sea moves vertically a tsunami results, but when the slipping is horizontal, there's no tsunami.
