WHERE DO TSUNAMIS HAPPEN?
Tsunamis can be
generated in all of the world’s oceans, inland seas, and in any large body of
water. They have caused damage and deaths in coastal areas all around the
world. However, certain areas are particularly prone to tsunamis due to their
proximity to tsunami sources, the depth and shape of the ocean floor near the
coast (bathymetry), and coastal elevation and features (topography). Of the 754
confirmed
events in the Global Historical Tsunami Database between 1900 and 2015, about
78% occurred in the Pacific Ocean (around the geologically active “Ring of
Fire”), 8% in the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea, 6% in the Mediterranean
Sea, 5% in the Indian Ocean, and 1% in other seas. Since 1900, the highest
percentage of tsunamis was generated off Japan (21%) followed by Russia (8%)
and Indonesia (8%). Most tsunamis are
small and nondestructive or only affect coasts near their source, but some
tsunamis can cause damage and deaths on distant shores (more than 1,000 kilometers, 620 miles, away). The
most significant distant tsunamis, since 1900 originated off Alaska, Chile,
Japan, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Russia.
