A tsunami measuring approximately 10 ft m off us affected some parts of the islands, while a maximum run-up height of 23.0 ft m off us was recorded. The earthquake was the largest in a series of quakes to strike the Solomon Islands over the preceding days.Associated Press 1,000 homeless on Solomon Islands after tsunami http://www.nydailynews.com/news/world/1-000-homeless-solomon-islands-tsunami-article-1.460017 New York Daily News January 5, 2010 The 7.1 mainshock was preceded by a 6.6 magnitude foreshock some 48 minutes previous. As many as 1,000 people were left homeless on the island of Rendova after the earthquake and tsunami destroyed approximately 200 homes. Earthquake The shock was located 105 km mi 0 on southeast of Gizo, 210 km mi 0 on south west of Dadali, Santa Isabel and 295 km mi 0 on north west of Honiara, Guadalcanal.Magnitude 7.1 – SOLOMON ISLANDS United States Geological Survey https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2010/us2010rabw/ dead https://web.archive.org/web/20100107092155/http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eqinthenews/2010/us2010rabw/ 2010-01-07 The earthquake was centered under the sea floor near the town of Gizo, which was heavily damaged in the 2007 Solomon Islands earthquake.Pacnews Further damage uncovered in Solomon Islands http://www.pina.com.fj/index.php?p=pacnews&m=read&o=13758078244b43e6ce356d81907241 Pacific Island News Association January 6, 2010 Characteristic Analysis of trench deformation, tsunami run-up heights and wave height data from the ocean revealed that the earthquake was a slow-rupturing "tsunami earthquake". Such earthquakes rupture the upper 20 km portion of a subduction zone, while releasing less energy compared to an ordinary subduction zone earthquake.Andrew V. Newman, Lujia Feng, Hermann M.

A tsunami measuring up to 10 ft m off us struck Rendova, destroying as many as 200 homes and leaving one-third of Rendova's population homeless. A maximum runup of 7 meters was recorded at Rendova Island. Approximately 1,000 residents have lost their residences, out of the total Rendovan population of just 3,600 people. The village of Retavo, which has a population of approximately 20 people, was hit by a 10-foot tsunami wave. Another village, Baniata, reported that sixteen homes were destroyed and thirty-two were damaged by the earthquake and tsunami. Due to early evacuations, there were no fatalities, but two people sustained minor injuries.The energetic 2010 MW 7.1 Solomon Islands tsunami earthquake A. V. Newman L. Feng H. M. Fritz Z. M.
