Earthquake
This earthquake occurred with a moment magnitude of 7.8 in a region which is characterized as having a weak seismic coupling.[4] Earthquakes with slow rupture velocities are the most efficient tsunami generators, and this earthquake was classified as a tsunami earthquake.[5]
Tsunami
The tsunami reached Java and Bali, with runups up to 14 m (46 ft) on the east Java coast and up to 5 m (16 ft) on the southwestern Bali coast. More than 200 people were killed in the tsunami.[6] The shock could be felt strongly across Bali, central and eastern Java, Lombok, and Sumbawa.[7]
