Tsunami waves can reach heights of over 100 feet during a tsunami event.
a tsunami is a tidal wave caused by an underwater earthquake :]
A tsunami can reach heights of over 100 feet when it makes landfall, depending on factors such as the size and strength of the tsunami and the shape of the coastline.
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.
No, after the 2004 tsunami, the southernmost tip of India is now called Kanyakumari. The tsunami altered the geography slightly, changing the shape of the coastline in the region.
The effect we now call tsunami has been happening since there have been oceans on the planet Earth (billions of years). There was no "First Tsunami"; the Japanese have been calling the effect 'tsunami' for many centuries.

None after the tsunami
2004
the first tsunami was in 1001 it was 200m high
In the context of a natural disaster event, the earthquake typically occurs before the tsunami. This is because the earthquake generates the seismic waves that trigger the tsunami as a series of powerful ocean waves.
It depends on what exactly you mean by predictable. If you mean is it possible to predict when a tsunami will happen, then the answer is negative. Tsunami are most commonly caused by seismic activity of tectonic plates, which creates a sudden, violent displacement of water. This means that to predict a tsunami, one must first be able to predict the earthquake, which, at the present time, is not possible. If you mean if it is possible to predict the behaviour of a tsunami, then the answer is yes. Tsunami follow set equations of wave behaviour, and therefore elements such as speed, height, wave period etc can be found and modelled.
The earthquake was first and caused the tsunami, like when you throw a stone into a pond first and then the ripples go out.
It hit Sumatra first, an Indonesian island.

Someone wanting to find tsunami pictures could find them online or in books at their local library. Anyone can go to their local library and find pictures of natural disasters, like a tsunami. Also, tsunami pictures are all over the internet and can easily be found.
Tsunami warnings in Australia are provided by the Australian Tsunami Warning System. This is a national collaboration between the Australian Bureau of Meteorology, Geoscience Australia and the Attorney-General's Department.
