Page "Lake Tahoe" Paragraph 12

Given the great depth of Lake Tahoe, and the locations of the normal faults within the deepest portions of the lake, modeling suggests that earthquakes on these faults can trigger tsunamis.

Wave heights of these tsunamis are predicted to be on the order of in height, capable of traversing the lake in just a few minutes.

A massive collapse of the western edge of the basin that formed McKinney Bay around 50, 000 years ago is thought to have generated a tsunami / seiche wave with a height approaching.
