Storegga (Norwegian: Great Edge) is located at the edge of Norway's continental shelf in the Norwegian Sea, 100 km (62 mi) north-west of the Møre coast. In around 6200 BCE, structural failures of the shelf caused three underwater landslides, which triggered very large tsunamis in the North Atlantic Ocean.

2019年9月24日 · In the early hours of 7 February, 1934, the peace and quiet of fjord Norway was rocked. An explosive sound and earth tremors signalled what had happened: approximately three million cubic metres of rock tumbled down into the fjord from a height of more than 700 metres.

2021年7月5日 · The three Storegga slides were among the largest ever known submarine landslides. They caused massive tsunamis that permanently changed the map of Northern Europe. When talking of tsunamis in and around Norway, many people know of …

The rock landed in the Tafjorden which created a local tsunami which killed 34 people [5] living on the shore of the fjord. The waves reached a height of 62 metres (203 ft) near the landslide, about 7 metres (23 ft) at Sylte, and about 16 metres (52 ft) at Tafjord. It was one of the worst natural disasters in Norway in the 20th century. [2]

2023年2月28日 · The Storegga Slide is the largest known exposed submarine landslide in the world, which triggered a tsunami that inundated the coasts of northern Europe ~8,150 years ago....

1998年3月19日 · Due to the rugged fjord landscape with high and steep mountain slopes, landslides occasionally occur. If large amounts of rock and debris rush into a fjord in this way, the displaced water can only spread out in a few directions. This results in meter-high tsunami waves that travel through the entire fjord before reaching the open Atlantic.

Giant submarine landslides in the Storegga area on the continental slope west of Norway took place on at least three occassions during the Late Quaternary. This paper provides a summary of present knowledge regarding tsunamis generated as a result of the Storegga...
