[31] The online version of this paper includes four animations showing processes of generation, propagation and run-up of tsunami waves on the beach. Animation 1 and 2 show tsunami waves generation for the simplified model of seismic source, which consists of three and eight blocks correspondingly, propagation of tsunami waves and running-up them on the beach. Sizes and locations of blocks correspond to the seismic source, caused the catastrophic tsunami of 26 December 2004 in the Indian Ocean. Successive motion of blocks with different velocities was set (see text for more detail).
[32] Animation 3 shows movements of blocks in the seismic source during the earthquakes. Calculations were made for the stressed state of blocks at the earthquakes preparatory stage. (see text for more detail).
[33] Animation 4 for the tsunami in the Indian Ocean of 26 December 2004 is based on the results of numerical simulation of surface waves generation for the seismic source consisting of 14 blocks (see [Hirata et al., 2006]). Movements of blocks in the seismic source were calculated for the stressed state of blocks, the propagation tsunami waves from seismic source was calculated up to 10-m isobath.
NB! If you use low-speed connection to Internet it is recommended before viewing an animation to load it onto local machine (click on right button of your mouse and Save Target As), then start a viewer.
