Abstract

A geomorphic study of the region in which the earthquake occurred, made after the earthquakes is compared with a similar study made before the earthquakes. Evidence is presented to show changes in land level. Discussion of the effects of the tsunami as it affected geomorphic and geologic processes is presented. Landslides are listed and analysed. Distribution of intensity is discussed.
