Short summary
The maximum possible earthquake magnitude is Mw 8.15 with an average slip of 8.25 m in the southernmost portion of the Ryukyu Trench. One hundred slip distributions of the seismic rupture surface were generated by a stochastic slip model. The simulated results demonstrate that the complexity of the rupture plane has a significant influence on the near field for local tsunamis. The propagation of tsunami waves and the peak wave heights largely vary in response to the slip distribution.
