Tsunami's always come to Japan because of Earthquakes there. Most recent tsunami on March 11, 2011
From Pacific coast.
Tsunamis can occur at any time due to underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Notable historical tsunamis include the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which struck on December 26, and the 2011 Tōhoku tsunami in Japan, which occurred on March 11. Each tsunami has its own specific timing and causes, so context is essential to pinpoint when a particular tsunami occurred.
A tsunami is usually caused by undersea earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides that displace a large volume of water in the ocean. The displaced water then creates long, powerful waves that move towards the shore.
There are yet no instruments which could predict a Tsunami. So, it can't be told whether a tsunami will come or not.
the tsunami KILLED people, not had them live in it I dont mean to be mean but you should come up with a better answer then that
it happened because the plates under the earth crashed causing a bubble to come out and pushed the water to the coast of Japan, AND my dad said that it moved the island of japan 7 feet from where it was (big bubble if you ask me).
If 0 is good and 10 is bad, then according to me its 7.5 to 8, because of the tsunami , the market in japan was gone, and that too so much of the development has come down to 50 % .
Tsunamis don't have names <----- by someone i don't know ok well right now i am someone else improving this question :) the earthquake was called 'the great east japan earthquake' so i guess its called 'the great east japan tsunami. <----- by ME
No. The tsunami, or any tsunami that is likely to occur, can only affect coastal areas and will come no more than a few miles inland even over flat land. There are hundreds of miles of mountains between Utah and the coast. There is only one event that could trigger a tsunami large enough to cross mountains: a missive impact from an asteroid or comet. But such an event has not happened in at least 65 million years and I'd bet a great deal that one will not happen in our lifetime.
Tsunami comes from Japan. TSU means big and Nami means water. Big Water.
2011 in Japan.
