Arrival times of initial tsunami (top) and maximum tsunami waves (bottom) based on the initial results from the earthquake-generated tsunami scenario database for the Marmara Sea. Color codes indicate arrival times: red <5 min, yellow 5–15 min, green >15 min. Historical records, as in the case of the 1999 Kocaeli earthquake and tsunami, indicate that in the case of a submarine landslide tsunami, the arrival time of the maximum tsunami wave could be less than 5 min
