Tsunamis can reach heights of up to 100 feet or more when they make landfall.
Tsunamis are most commonly found in the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire, which is an area known for its tectonic activity. This region includes the coasts of countries such as Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and the west coast of the United States. Areas near subduction zones, where tectonic plates collide, are particularly prone to generating tsunamis.
Tsunamis can cause significant changes to coastal landscapes by eroding shorelines, depositing sediment in new areas, and altering habitats for marine life. In some cases, tsunamis have triggered underwater landslides or volcanic eruptions that can have longer-lasting effects on the Earth's geology.
In Greenland, tsunamis can be generated by glacial calving events, where large chunks of ice break off glaciers and fall into the water, displacing a significant amount of water and creating powerful waves. These tsunamis can be locally damaging but are generally smaller in scale compared to tsunamis triggered by earthquakes.
Tsunamis originate from underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. When these events displace a large amount of water, it creates a series of powerful waves that travel across the ocean.
Tsunamis can vary greatly by length in terms of their size. The largest tsunamis last for a few days while regular ones last just a few hours.

There have been three large tsunamis that have struck Hawaii in the last 200 years, occurring in 1946, 1952, and 1960. These tsunamis were generated by earthquakes in the Pacific Ocean, causing significant damage and loss of life in Hawaii.

Some of the countries that have been most affected by tsunamis in the last 100 years include Japan, Indonesia, Chile, and Thailand. These countries are located in regions with high seismic activity and are prone to tsunamis due to their proximity to tectonic plate boundaries.
Over what time period are you asking about. In the last year none.
One earthquake (8.0-8.3) has caused 4 tsunamis
Tsunamis that are triggered by volcanic eruptions
They cause tsunamis
Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to prevent tsunamis.
