On October 9th, a mysterious small magnitude tsunami struck not only the Japanese mainland but also portions of the Izu and Bonin Islands. While this tsunami can be immediately traced to originating around the time of a magnitude 5.0 earthquake, this presents a problem. As, this quake was seemingly more than two full magnitudes too small to have been considered capable of producing a tsunami in the traditional sense. So, why did this tsunami occur, and was it related to an undetected volcanic eruption?
