∙ 12y agoAlmost 80% of the world's tsunamis occur in the Pacific Ocean.
Tsunamis occur most often along countries which border the Pacific "Rim of Fire", or "Ring of Fire'. One end of this region of high sesmic and volcanic activity begins at New Zealand, heading northwest to Indonesia (completely bypassing Australia) and then west to Papua New Guinea and Indonesia, northeast along the Asian coastline, east to North America and then south along the western North American coastline. Roughly horse-shoe shaped, the Ring of Fire extends about 40,000km long, and tsunamis can be generated anywhere along this rim.
However, note that the word 'tsunami' is Japanese, and therefore if they invented the word for them it is reasonable to assume that perhaps the PEOPLE of Japan have been the most afflicted by them.
Japan has the most tsunamis and earthquakes. This is because Japan is right on where the earth's plates are connected together so that is why there is a bigger chance the earth's plates collide and ends up in a tsunami , earthquake or even both!
