There are several areas of concern. One is off the west coast running frm northern California to British Columbia where the Pacific Plate meets the North American Plate. Another zone is where the Pacific Plate meets the North American Plate south of Alaska and the Aleutian Islands. A third area of concern, which has triggered a tsunami recently, is near Japan, where the Okhotsk, Eurasian, Philippine, and Pacific Plates meet. Another potential tsunami may originate from a volcanic island associated with a hot spot under the African Plate.
