Abstract
Since the last centuries, many giant earthquakes exceeding magnitude 9 associated with giant tsunami took place in the circum-Pacific coastal areas in the world. These natural disasters brought huge amounts of damages in our human communities. Most of the scientists deeply felt a necessity of fundamental understanding of global and regional mechanical behavior of earth process.
