Mitigation

Characteristics

When the wave enters shallow water it slows down and its amplitude (height) increases.

Drawback

where h is the maximum tsunami-wave amplitude (in m) measured by a tide gauge at a distance R from the epicenter, a, b & D are constants used to make the Mt scale match as closely as possible with the moment magnitude scale.
