Abstract

Numerical modeling of a 28'th September Tsunami on the  Sulawesi Island (Indonesia) is executed. It is shown that observed distribution of a Tsunami heights in the extensive territory can be explained direct action of a strong earthquake, and in a center zone (the district of Palu) - submarine landslide.
