Tsunamis occur most often along countries which border the Pacific "Rim of Fire", or "Ring of Fire'. One end of this region of high seismic 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.

∙ 11y agoTsunamis can only occur near a major body of water (the ocean). Specifically the area that holds the biggest threat is the Pacific Ocean. This pushes the series of waves through the water. If they hit the shore, the rise up as they approach the land. So basically anything would be destroyed if it's close to the shore and rises up to the land.

Where do Tsunamis happen around the world?
Tsunamis can happen anywhere there is deep water and an earthquake. The majority of tsunamis occur in the Pacific Rim.
What season do tsunamis most likely occur in?
Tsunamis are typically caused by earthquakes, especially those in which plates slide under or over each other. The stronger the quake on the Richter scale, the more likely the tsunami will be a large and dangerous event. These can happen any time of the year. Most areas of the tropics have a tropical cyclone season. These storms can also produce high storm surges and waves. Usually the warnings issued are for the storm itself as it includes high winds as well as high waves. These waves, however, are not related to tsunamis.
