Why is the cali coast at risk from tsunamis?
The California coast is at risk from tsunamis primarily due to its proximity to tectonic plate boundaries, particularly the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. Subduction zones, like the Cascadia Subduction Zone offshore, can generate large underwater earthquakes that displace water and create tsunamis. Additionally, local factors such as underwater landslides and volcanic activity can also trigger tsunamis. Given California's extensive coastline and dense population, the potential impact of tsunamis poses significant risks to coastal communities.

Can tidal turbines be used for tsunamis?
No. Tsunamis are too irregular and infrequent to be a reliable source of energy. Furthermore, the size of a tsunami in any given location is difficult to predict. We have turbines that can generate power from the tides or from ordinary waves, but these would liely be damaged or destroyed in a tsunami.
