The 3.4 magnitude earthquake occurred on June 29, 2024, at 03:45:24 UTC, located 15 km southwest of Henderson, New York, at a depth of 10.0 km. The earthquake is classified as low to moderate in magnitude, and while there was speculation about a tsunami, experts clarified that any resulting waves would be categorized as a seiche, a series of standing waves in enclosed bodies of water. The discussion also highlighted the absence of subduction fault involvement and introduced the term "meteotsunami" in relation to meteorologically driven waves.
PREREQUISITESGeologists, emergency preparedness professionals, and residents in seismically active regions, particularly those near large bodies of water like the Great Lakes.
I don't believe so. The magnitude of the earthquake 3.4 was rather low to moderate, even though it appears to be shallow. I think any wave or waves would be referred to as a seiche. A seiche (pronounced "saysh") is a series of standing waves in a fully, or partially-enclosed body of water caused by earthquakes or landslides.BillTre said:A possibility of a tsunami in a great lake?
