∙ 13y agoCalifornia won't have Tsunami because California's under water land is shift so it won't cause Tsunami. For a Tsunami to occur however, there must be some kind of vertical movement under water along the fault. This vertical movement must be capable of displacing huge amounts of water, thus causing waves. Tsunami can also be caused by land sliding in to the sea with such great force that it creates a wave. Similar to the effect of throwing a pebble into a puddle of water. Tsunami caused by uneven under water land so it will have a great force of wave to push up the water to land. California's under water land is shift but flat so it won't cause Tsunami. I know in California you don't have to worry about Tsunami but I heard the News on TV that California is an Earthquake Zones.
