What is the safest place to be during a tsunami with a boat?

The safest place to be during a tsunami with a boat is out at sea in deep water where the tsunami waves are not as destructive. Boats can be carried by the tsunami waves and may be safer away from the impact zone near the shore. It is important to monitor official warnings and follow safety guidelines to navigate away from the tsunami's path.


Can a tsunami cause the sea surface to go down?

Yes, before a tsunami hits the shore, it can cause the sea surface level to recede significantly. This is known as a drawback effect, where water is pulled away from the coast as the tsunami energy builds up. Once the tsunami makes landfall, the water is then quickly pushed back towards the shore with tremendous force.
