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. Source: National Weather Service (NOAA) - US National Tsunami Warning System.
