Which ocean is most likely to have a tsunami and why?
The Pacific Ocean Reason The Pacific Ocean is surrounded by continents(tectonic plates). These plates move and cause Earthquakes. An Earthquake occurring under water produces a 'shock-wave' . This shock-wave is not felt in the open deep sea ocean, but when the ocean is much shallower , nearer land, the shock-wave makes the water build up in to a higher wave ~(tsunami). NB THe whole of the Pacific Ocean is surrounded by tectonic plates , which are sub-ducting, * passing over and under each other*, is it known as the 'Pacific Ring of Fire'. because there are many active volcanoes associated with this geology.
