The Pacific Ocean
Reason The Pacific Ocean is surrounded by continents(tectonic plates). These plates move and cause Earthquakes. An Earthquake occurring under water produces a 'shock-wave' . This shock-wave is not felt in the open deep sea ocean, but when the ocean is much shallower , nearer land, the shock-wave makes the water build up in to a higher wave ~(tsunami).
NB THe whole of the Pacific Ocean is surrounded by tectonic plates , which are sub-ducting, * passing over and under each other*, is it known as the 'Pacific Ring of Fire'. because there are many active volcanoes associated with this geology.
What else can I help you with?
What type of scientist most likely to study how an ocean current changes according to the seasons?
Hydrologist
What agent of erosion is most likely responsible for the deposition of sandbars along ocean shorelines?
Ocean waves are the agent of erosion most likely responsible for the deposition of sandbars along ocean shorelines. As waves hit the shoreline, they transport sand and sediment, leading to the formation of sandbars.
A succession of ocean waves set in motion by a submarine earthquake is called?
A succession of ocean waves set in motion by a submarine earthquake is called a tsunami. Tsunamis can travel long distances across the ocean and can cause widespread destruction and flooding when they reach land.
What is a large wave created by some earthquakes?
A large wave created by some earthquakes is called a tsunami. Tsunamis are generated by the displacement of water caused by underwater seismic activity, leading to the formation of powerful and destructive ocean waves.
What type of scientist is most likely to study how an ocean current changes according to the seasons?
An oceanographer specializing in physical oceanography would be most likely to study how ocean currents change according to the seasons. They study the movement of ocean waters, including currents, temperature, and salinity, to understand how the ocean behaves over time.
Where do tsunami's likely strike?
most likely in a place near the ocean like hawaii
Where are the most likely in the word to be hit by a tsunami?
The Pacific Ocean, specifically the Ring Of Fire
What was the most recent destructive tsunami?
One tsunami would be the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami.
Does a whale like tsunami?
Most likely not. A whale in deep, open ocean water would probably not even notice a passing tsunami. In shallow water it would be a very stressful event.
How do you spell sunome?
The likely word (phonetically) is tsunami(soo-NAH-me) a large ocean wave.
How do you avoid the tsunami in future?
You can reduce effect of tsunami but there is no way you can avoid it for certain, area which are most likely to get hit by tsunami are area near sea and ocean (large amount of water) and area which also has high earthquake zone. If you are not affected by these two factors you are very unlikely to get hit by the tsunami.
Can a tsunami happen in the ocean?
Yes. Most tsunamis are in the ocean. It is rare to see them in lakes.
Why tsunami do not always occur even there is an earthquake?
The creation of a tsunami depends on several factors:magnitude - generally needs to be 7 or higherearthquake must be located under the ocean so that water is movedtype of fault movement. When plates move up or down, this tends to move the most water, and is most likely to produce a tsunami

In what part of the ocean is a tsunami most dangerous?
In the Indian ocean right smack dab in the middle
Why do tsunmis most happen in the Pacific Ocean?
Tsunami's happen most around the Pacific ocean because that's where the worlds tectonic plates are situated, so when one shifts, it often results in a Tsunami...
