Tectonic plate activity is more common in some places than others. When this plates collide, the resulting force moves the water in the ocean. The force is so powerful it creates massive waves called Tsunamis.

Do natural disasters strike in a certain area?
It depends on the natural disaster. Volcanoes and earthquakes only happen on areas near a fault line. Tornadoes are only found inland. Tsunamis, floods, and hurricanes are found in coastal areas.
When will tsunamis come to Toronto Ontario?
In all likelihood, never. The geology in and around Lake Ontario cannot produce tsunamis. The only way a tsunami could possibly occur there would be if an asteroid struck the lake, which is extremely unlikely to occur.
Can a tsunami happen in a pool?
They don't. A tsunami is an ocean wave. For a tsunami to occur, it needs a huge fetch (distance) to run. To date, the only method of creating one is major shifts in the earth, particularly around faults.

Why tsunamis do not occur after earthquake?
Aftershocks are the results of the Pressure Plates being unstable, and are still adjusting or moving. The earthquake from September 4, 2010 in Christchurch will be having aftershocks for about 1 and a half more years.
