Tsunami are large waves caused by sudden movement of the ocean because of earthquakes, landslides, large volcanic eruptions or meteorite impact in the ocean. Any country can have a Tsunami, if it borders a large body of water and even more so if that body of water is connected to the ocean and there aren't any dams holding back the Tsunami.
