How would you calculate a tsunami hitting the entire Pacific coast (Pacific rim)

[1000TonsofFun]

According to this book for the official Pacific Rim tabletop RPG, either Trespasser or the Breach was capable of causing a tsunami that hit the entire Pacific coastline. Does anyone know how to calculate the amount of energy that would require?

Is there more information about the tsunami? For example, how far from the shore did the tsunami occur? How high is it? How long did it take to hit the shore?

We know that it’s “massive” (so height could maybe be compared to the waves in the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and took at most 19 days to reach shoreline (timeline is noted as diverting on July 19th whilst the tsunami is said to have hit on August 7th) according to the scan posted above. The above scan also mentions that the origin of the tsunami was unknown, but it likely originated from the Breach in Challenger Deep given that the context of the scan seems to imply that it was linked to the first kaiju emerging from the Breach or the Breach first being opened. Location might not matter as much though, since apparently every coast across the Pacific Rim was hit.

measure the rim, assume a certain height and speed. I think.

I know it's too late, but maybe I can help with the calculation, later I'll bring news.

I’ve already done a version of the Calc here but you can do another version if you feel it would be more accurate

I looked at the calculation, everything is within the standard of the verse, as for the Striker Eureka Bomb it will possibly be sized for Large Island, I think the Pacific Rim 2013 Large Island level is consistent, and then open a new CRT for the Pacific Rim Uprising Small Country level.
