Most destructive waves in the ocean?
Tsunamis are the most destructive waves in the ocean, typically caused by underwater earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, or landslides. Their long wavelengths and high speeds make them capable of causing widespread devastation when they reach coastlines.
How high do tsunamis typically reach when they make landfall?
Tsunamis can reach heights of up to 100 feet or more when they make landfall.
Are there any big changes that tsunamis have made to the earth?
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 how tsunami created without earthquake?
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.
Where do tsunamis originate and how do they form?
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.
Are earthquakes related to tsunamis?
Yes. Most tsunamis are triggered by earthquakes.
Which ocean has the most tsunamis?

in the water.
Which US state has had the most tsunamis?
California
Do most tsunamis probably form near plate boundaries or far from them?
Most tsunamis are tirggered by earthquaes and so usually occur at plate boundaries.
How do you get tsunamis?
You get tsunamis from one in three things volcanic eruption Earthquake Land slides, The most common is a earthquake
What three countries are tsunamis most common?
Tsunamis are most common in countries located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, such as Japan, Indonesia, and Chile. These countries experience frequent seismic activity that can trigger tsunamis.
What countries are most affected by tsunamis?
Japan is a country that is most affected by them
What causes most tsunamis earthquakes a full moon a hurricane or a flood?
Of these things, earthquakes are the only ones that can cause tsunamis.

Do tsunamis form at plate boundaries?
Usually, yes. Most tsunamis are generated at subduction zones. However, tsunamis can occur away from plate boundaries if they are triggered by landslides or meteor impacts.
