Resumen:
El Salvador can be catalogued as a potential tsunamigenic country. Being in the Pacific, where the majority of tsunamis have been recorded, the country can be considered likely to be hit by a tsunami. This thesis illustrates the tsunami hazard potential in El Salvador. A theorical frame containing general concepts and definitions, geological settings of El Salvador and previous studies related to tsunamis in Central America and El Salvador is presented. Historical tsunami information contained in the Central America tsunami catalogue and more specifically in the Salvadorian tsunami catalogue was gathered and levels of accuracy and reliability of both catalogues were established (Au) - en
