【 摘 要 】

The most of earthquakes in the western part of North of Sumatra, Indonesia have tsunami potential. This paper discuss about tsunami height which was triggered by large energy of earthquake along strike-slip fault and submarine landslide. Beyond of a view historical tsunamis in the western part Sumatra in Aceh, which was occured on April 11, 2012 have given several questions for the majority of earth scientist in relation with the potential for tsunami. The 8.6 M earthquake might have no tsunami potential significantly, with the hypothesis that mechanism of the earthquake source is strike-slip. However BMKG, in accordance with standard operating procedures stated that this earthquake "potential tsunami". But here we will give other parameters that affect a potential tsunami by performing the calculation of the effects of landslides. This paper describes how potential and kinetic energy spread during landslide and analysis of mechanism and underwater structures named as guyot as the cause of the earthquake along strike-slip fault. This paper discuss about scoup study on landslide which give the hypothesis that the type of submarine landslide or landslide of near shore cliff also will have influence to tsunami height or run-up. The key is, how strongly the all of disturbance above will increasing or decreasing of  sea water volume. The result for the first case, strike-slip earthquake without the submarine landslide obtain maximum run-up in Meulaboh  is 1.5864 m, with E~Mo (seafloor deformation). For the second case is strike-slip earthquake influenced by submarine landslide obtained ETotal ~1020 ~ Mo (seafloor deformation) which obtained tsunami run-up in Meulaboh 1.7726 m. So in this case, the landslide under the sea it also affected to the maximum tsunami height, but not significantly influence. For the last case, strike-slip earthquake influenced by landslide of near shore cliff: ETotal is estimated Ekfall ~  1022  ~  Mw ~  8 SR, equivalent with vertical of seafloor deformation and obtain tsunami run-up in Meulaboh 16.9372 m.
