| dc.description.abstract | Abstract. Though an infrequent threat, tsunamis might have devastating effects in any coast in the world. Since 1746, Costa Rica has registered 42 tsunamis from local and distant sources in both shores, Pacific and Caribbean. At least 15 of those tsunamis caused damaging currents and/or flooding, and one caused at least three deaths. Still, the relatively moderate effects that those tsunamis had, together with the moderate seismic potential for the country, explains the popular belief that tsunamis are not a threat for Costa Rica | |
| dc.description.abstract | Resumen. Aunque son una amenaza poco frecuente, los tsunamis pueden tener efectos devastadores en cualquier costa del mundo. Desde 1746, Costa Rica ha registrado 42 tsunamis de origen local y distante en ambas costas, el Pacífico y el Caribe. Al menos 15 de estos tsunamis causaron corrientes dañinas o inundaciones, y uno causó al menos tres muertes. Sin embargo, los efectos relativamente moderados de estos tsunamis, junto con el potencial sísmico moderado del país, explican la creencia popular de que los tsunamis no representan una amenaza para Costa Rica. | |
