There is a theory, that in the event of an eruption of the volcano cumbre vieja on the Canary Island of La Palma, about half of that island will break off and slide into sea. This would then produce a giant tsunami, which can reach heights of hundreds of meters, and would travel across the Atlantic Ocean to strike the east coast of the US.
tsunami effects areas where is is tectonic faults under the sea bed.All east coast near Japan and the Pacific is tsunami prone. Continents that do not have tectonic faults in the east coast normally do not experience tsunami unless it is in the distant continent or sea in the eastern side of the country.
Yes. A tsunami caused some damage on the U.S. Pacific coast in 2011, and there is concern that the Cascadia subduction zone off the west coast couple produce and even worse tsunami. There is also some concern about a tsunami hitting the east coast.
No, but there is a radical theory predicting that a tsunami, with waves far larger than the ones we've just seen from Japan, could hit Miami, Washington and New York.
Yes- although the west coast is more likely.
The Carribean area is prone to volcanos which can initiate tsunamis. See related link.
Yes, a tsunami could hit the east coat. However, it is more likely that a tsunami would hit the west coast because the Carribean area is more prone to volcanos which can initiate tsunamis.
It is very possible.
The tsunami has hit the East side of Japan, and will also hit Hawaii (with great impact with waves up to 2.1m) and the East coast of the rest of United States (in for instance California). Other places like Taiwan, Philipines, New Zealand might also be affected.
Yes, In fact there is concern about a tsunami striking the Caribbean and U.S. east coast.
The Atlantic Ocean
Tsunami is the disturbance of the sea by the shock waves created by earthquakes under the sea bed resulting in huge surface waves that lash the coastal areas.The south east Asian tsunami was due to earth quakes in the pacific ocean near south east Asia coasts.
what tsunami? i was in the tsunami in south east Asia (i was in phuket, Thailand) and it hit the coasts mostly! hopes that answers your question
