Best Answer

The earthquake generated tsunami on March 11, 2011 produced waves that surpassed four story buildings, or more than 40 feet, as witnessed in Shizugawa and elsewhere near Japan's coast.

The tsunami was so powerful its waves traveled the entire Pacific Ocean and were felt from the coasts of Alaska to that of Chile.

The Samoa Tsunami caused by Earthquake in 2009 hit several countries including: Samoa, American Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, the Cook Islands, and Japan.

The waves were up to 15ft (4.5m) in height.

A massive 8.8 earthquake striking Chile in Jan 12, 2009 triggered a tsunami that reached Japan, but the waves reaching the coast of Japan were small.

At Sumatra, the waves can up to 25-30 meters high. But in some places it can be up to 10-25 meters high. It depends on how far it is going.
